Dalnyk Forest, Botanical reserve in Velykyi Dalnyk, Ukraine
Dalnyk Forest is a protected botanical reserve in the Odesa region that spans a varied landscape with multiple plant communities. The terrain includes forest stands, open areas, and waterside zones where different species thrive under local conditions.
This area became a protected zakaznik in 1974, joining Ukraine's network of nature reserves. The designation reflected growing recognition of the region's ecological value and the need to safeguard its natural features.
Local residents maintain traditional practices of forest resource management, integrating environmental protection with community needs throughout the seasons.
You can reach the reserve from several nearby towns in the Odesa region using local routes through the area. Wear suitable clothing for forest walking and plan your time to explore at a comfortable pace.
The reserve forms part of a system where the Dalnyk River creates freshwater ponds, supporting specific plant communities and water-dependent species.
