NEGORELOE FORESTRY EXPERIMENTAL STATION

The BSTU affiliated Negoreloe forestry experimental station with an area of more than 17 thousand hectares is a kind of natural laboratory in which a significant part of the educational process of students takes place. Almost all types of forest plantations of various tree species found in the Republic of Belarus are represented on the territory of the forestry, where more than 100 experimental sites are set up. The full implementation of the main goal of the BSTU affiliation is facilitated by an excellent material base that meets the most demanding up-to-date requirements. One of the most interesting objects of forestry is the botanical garden, which is among the largest in Belarus. It was founded in 1954, currently its area is 25 hectares, collections include more than 600 tree and shrub species and over 700 species of ornamental, cultivated and medicinal plants. On the basis of the botanical garden, the project of the ecological trail ?The fairy tale of the Negorelsky Forest? was implemented, which gave it a unique flavor and originality.
