Desna-Starogutsky National Nature Park, National nature park in Sumy Oblast, Ukraine
The park extends across 16,215 hectares, featuring wetlands, mixed forests, and the Desna River floodplains in the eastern Polesia region of Ukraine.
The establishment of Desna-Starogutsky National Nature Park in February 1999 marked a significant step in Ukraine's environmental conservation following the Soviet Union period.
The lands within the park boundaries maintain traditional practices of local communities, including sustainable forestry management and regulated fishing activities.
Visitors can access heated cabins, boat rentals, and camping facilities while exploring the ecological trail that showcases the Desna floodplain terraces.
The park contains two distinct sections: the Desna River floodplains and a portion of Bryansk forest near the Russian border, supporting 134 breeding bird species.
