Dubovaya roshcha, Natural monument in Elista, Russia.

Dubovaya roshcha is a regional natural monument in Elista, bounded by Nikolayeva Street to the south, Fizkulturnaya Street to the west, and the Elistinka River to the north and northeast. It holds about 30 weakened oaks and a freshwater spring whose stone lining is partly preserved.

The first attempt at tree planting on the Elista tract was made in 1853 and succeeded, creating the Elistinskaya forest plantation. The grove is thus 12 years older than the city of Elista itself. It now holds regional natural-monument status, though its formal status remains unsettled.

The grove's name comes from its oaks, planted after the first reforestation attempt in the Elista tract in 1853, which created the Elistinskaya forest plantation. The grove is formally separate from the adjacent Friendship Park and has no managing owner, a status that affects the survival of the remaining trees.

The grove lies in central Elista, bounded by Nikolayeva Street to the south, Fizkulturnaya Street to the west and the Elistinka River to the north and northeast. It is not part of Friendship Park and has no formal upkeep, so paths are faint and the ground can be waterlogged or saline. The spring with its partly surviving rubble-stone lining is the main fixed point for orientation.

The grove predates Elista by 12 years: planting began in 1853, while the city was founded in 1865. Only about 30 oaks remain, nearly all weakened by fires, soil salinization and flooding, and the grove is formally outside Friendship Park and effectively unmanaged.
