Genko's Forest Belt, Protected forest belt in Ulyanovsk Oblast, Russia.
The forest belt system spans 16.25 square kilometers, containing diverse tree species including oak, maple, pine, birch, linden, and elm throughout the area.
Nestor Karlovich Genko initiated the forest belt project between 1886 and 1903 as part of watershed protection initiatives in the Ulyanovsk region.
The forest belt represents a significant example of 19th-century Russian forestry practices and environmental management techniques that influenced agricultural development.
The protected status of the forest belt prohibits construction and agricultural activities, permitting only specific maintenance tasks like dead tree removal.
The forest demonstrates natural regeneration with second-generation trees, maintaining the original ecological purpose of the windbreak system designed by Genko.
