Kerzhinski Nature Reserve, Nature reserve in Nizhny Novgorod Oblast, Russia
The Kerzhinsky Nature Reserve encompasses 46,856 hectares of wetlands, forests, and river ecosystems along the Kerzhenets River in central Russia.
The reserve, established in 1993, emerged from early 20th-century conservation efforts and scientific expeditions by Moscow State University researchers in the 1940s.
The reserve maintains two educational centers, including one in Rustay village, offering environmental programs and summer camps for children and students.
The reserve permits guided visits on designated eco-trails for 180 rubles per person, with free access for pensioners and visitors under 18 years old.
Scientists at the reserve conduct a restoration project for the forest subspecies of reindeer while protecting rare butterflies like Apollo and Parnassius mnemosyne.
