Заповедник "Нургуш"

Nurgush is a protected nature reserve located along the Vyatka River in a region of western Russia. The territory contains floodplain areas, many lakes, and mixed forests of coniferous and deciduous trees spread across thousands of hectares.

The area first became protected in 1952 as a reserve for beavers, then grew into a broader nature reserve established in 1994. This shift shows how conservation efforts changed over time to protect a wider range of plants and animals.

The reserve serves as a place where scientists observe and study the natural world around them. Their work helps maintain this environment for people to understand and appreciate nature.

Visitors need to obtain permits before entering and must stay on marked paths guided by reserve staff. Following these rules protects the land and keeps people safe while exploring.

During spring, water floods much of the territory for several days and turns the land into a temporary swamp. These seasonal floods create a special habitat that draws many species to feed and breed.
