Michael's Virgin Land Nature Reserve, Protected nature reserve in Sumy Oblast, Ukraine.

The reserve spans 882.9 hectares of meadow-steppe terrain, containing over 500 species of herbs and grasses in northeast Ukraine near the Russian border.

Count Kapnist's acquisition of these lands in 1741 for breeding trotters led to the preservation of natural meadows until its formal protection in 1928.

The reserve functions as an essential research center for scientists studying the reconstruction of wild plant and animal populations in Ukrainian steppes.

The reserve maintains strict access protocols, prohibiting mass recreation, construction, hunting, and fishing to preserve its natural ecological systems.

The location features both northern and southern steppe plants, creating a distinct ecosystem within the East European forest steppe transition zone.
