Schepkinsky Forest, Protected forest area in Rostov-on-Don, Russia.
The forest covers 1600 hectares of land with two quarries, a central pond, and an artificial lake formed by river tributaries.
The forest plantation emerged near Shchepkino village at the start of the 20th century and later received protected status as a zakaznik.
The forest serves as an educational resource for local communities, focusing on environmental science and forestry preservation techniques.
Visitors can access the forest easily from Rostov-on-Don for activities like hiking and fishing, though hunting remains prohibited throughout the area.
The reserve contains varied wildlife including roe deer, foxes, wild boars, and water species such as Prussian carp in its flooded quarry.
