Pervomayskaya Grove is a protected forest park in Proletarsky district of Tver that stretches along the Tmaka River. The woodland features pine forests mixed with birch, maple, ash, and various shrubs like raspberry and rowan plants.
The grove developed from the natural forest surrounding the Uspensky Zheltikov Monastery, founded in 1384 in this location. The woodland has evolved over centuries and continues to shape the character of the area today.
This protected forest serves as a teaching ground where local schools bring students to study plants and learn about environmental protection firsthand. Visitors can observe educational groups exploring the woodland and engaging with the natural world around them.
The forest is accessible by public transport, with bus 113 and minibus 12 serving nearby stops for easy arrival. Entry to the woodland is located near an industrial facility that borders the protected area.
Over 95 percent of the forest consists of a diverse mix of pine, birch, maple, and other tree species, with the main trees averaging around 70 years old. This varied woodland composition creates different layers and habitats within the grove.
