Ajameti Managed Reserve, Nature reserve in Baghdati and Zestafoni Municipality, Georgia
The Ajameti Managed Reserve extends across 4848 hectares, with 4738 hectares of forest containing oak groves, hornbeam forests, and oriental hornbeam sections.
The area transformed from a 20-hectare protected forest zone in 1928 to an official botanical reserve in 1935, followed by strict nature reserve status in 1946.
The reserve stands near Vartsikhe borough, built upon Rodopolis ruins, and Geguti, which contains remnants of Georgian kings' winter hunting palace.
Located 230 kilometers from Tbilisi and 15 kilometers from Kutaisi, the reserve stretches 13 kilometers from east to west with an average width of 3 kilometers.
The reserve protects numerous 250-year-old Imeretian Oak and Zelkova trees, which are rare specimens from the Tertiary period.
