Trostianets dendropark, Protected arboretum in Chernihiv Oblast, Ukraine.
Trostianets dendropark is a protected botanical site that displays systematically arranged collections of trees and shrubs from different regions and climates. The grounds are organized into distinct sections, each showcasing different plant families and ecological conditions.
The site was established in the early 1800s to study and adapt plant species for the region. This early scientific mission evolved into a major center for botanical research and the preservation of plant collections.
The grounds demonstrate how a landscape can be designed to support and protect plant diversity. The way visitors walk through the collections reflects the deep connection between scientific inquiry and respect for nature that has shaped this place.
The site is large and best explored on foot, with comfortable walking shoes recommended. The paths vary in surface type, with some paved sections and others featuring more natural ground conditions.
A large forest buffer zone surrounds the grounds, protecting the rare collections from external pressures. This surrounding woodland area is itself an important part of the overall ecosystem and contributes to safeguarding fragile habitats.
