Seimskyi Landscape Park, Regional landscape park in Sumy Oblast, Ukraine
Seimskyi Landscape Park is a protected natural area in Sumy Oblast that spreads along the Seym River with diverse landscapes and wildlife habitats. The terrain includes pine forests, wetlands, lakes, and various ecosystems that support a wide range of plant and animal life.
The protected status came officially in 1995, following conservation planning that had started years earlier. This designation marked a turning point in efforts to preserve this landscape for future generations.
The park serves as a center for environmental learning in the region, showing visitors how natural habitats work and why they matter. Local schools and community groups come here to understand the ecosystems that surround them.
Visitors can use established trails to explore different areas and observe wildlife such as elk, roe deer, foxes, and various bird species. The park is set up to allow people to move through the landscape and experience its natural character.
After its establishment, the protected area became a point of contention among local groups with different interests in how the land should be used. These disputes reflect the ongoing tension between conservation goals and local interests in the region.
