Storozhynets Arboretum

Storozhynets Arboretum is a botanical collection in Chernivtsi Oblast featuring hundreds of tree and shrub species arranged across connected sections. The grounds are laid out with walking paths that guide visitors through different planted areas showcasing both regional and non-native species.

The arboretum was founded in 1912 as one of the region's first botanical collections dedicated to studying local plants. Over the following decades it expanded to become a significant resource for understanding the forests and vegetation of Chernivtsi Oblast.

The site serves as a place where visitors connect with the natural world and learn how different tree species shape the landscape of this region. Local communities use it as a green space to understand the plants that define their environment.

The site is accessible year-round with parking available for visitors who arrive by car. The pathways are well-maintained and easy to walk, making it comfortable to explore during most seasons.

The collection includes specialized plantings of trees and shrubs adapted specifically to the mountain climate and soil conditions of this part of Ukraine. Visitors often discover how certain species thrive in the specific environmental conditions found here, something rarely seen elsewhere.
