Stepanavan Dendropark, Protected forest area in Lori Province, Armenia.
Description
Stepanavan Dendropark is a protected forest area in Lori Province that covers a large expanse and includes both natural woodland and ornamental plantings of trees and shrubs. The site holds hundreds of different plant species from the region and beyond in its mountainous location.
History
A Polish engineer established this garden in 1931 and directed it for decades before his son took over management. The facility grew from a desire to gather and study different plant species in one location.
Culture
The park serves as a place where schools and scientists come to study and research, helping people learn about plants and how they adapt to their environment. Visitors can see how vegetation from different regions grows together in one space.
Practical
The area is easy to explore on foot, with marked paths leading through different plant sections and allowing visitors to move at their own pace. An overview map at the entrance helps with orientation and planning your route.
