Chernechyi Lis Reserve

Chernechyi Lis Reserve is a forest protected area in Kyiv Oblast that shelters diverse plant and animal species within its wooded terrain. The site is monitored by specialists who track forest conditions and detect threats to maintain ecological balance.

The reserve was established in 2018 following decades of forest decline in the region caused by logging operations. This protection aimed to halt further loss of remaining woodland.

The reserve serves as a field study site where students and researchers observe forest ecosystems and local biodiversity in their natural setting. Visitors can witness active scientific work and gain insight into how these environments function.

Access to the reserve is limited to designated pathways to protect fragile habitats from trampling and damage. Visitors should stay on marked routes and follow local guidelines during their visit.

The site functions as a critical stopover point for migratory birds traveling between Europe and Africa during their seasonal journeys. This role makes it particularly valuable for bird watchers and researchers.
