Левашовский лес, Protected forest area in Saint Petersburg, Russia
The Levashovsky Forest spans 2,704 hectares of mixed woodlands, wetlands, and lakes north of Saint Petersburg, featuring pine, spruce, aspen, and birch trees.
The forest territory gained protected status in January 2023, following decades of conservation efforts that began with initial proposals in 1987.
Research institutions from Saint Petersburg regularly conduct ecological studies in the forest, monitoring 128 bird species and 31 mammal species.
Visitors can access the forest through multiple entry points and follow marked trails while observing information signs about local flora and fauna.
The forest contains ancient deposits of gyttja clay from the former Littorina Sea, which created numerous peat bogs under layers of sand.
