In Lviv region, regional council deputies supported the decision to create four botanical natural monuments of local importance.
This will allow limiting activities that could damage or destroy them, and thus preserve them for future generations, reports the Department of Ecology and Natural Resources of the Lviv Regional State Administration on Facebook.
Botanical monuments of local importance have become:
- "Sykhiv oak" in the city of Lviv, the approximate age of which reaches 180 years. It has special biological, cultural, aesthetic value and important ecological significance.
- "Pine of the Counts of Vishnevsky" in the city of Chervonograd. This is a black pine tree over 100 years old. It has historical significance and was part of the Potocki palace and park complex. The protected object is located within the boundaries of the Chervonograd city council on the territory of the "Miner" stadium.
- "Group of ordinary oaks" (6 trees about 140-150 years old) and "Old oaks in the tract "Veliky" (2 trees 230-240 years old), which are located within the boundaries of the Drohobytsk City Council in the village of Medvezha.
"The creation of territories and objects of the nature reserve fund is another way of preserving ancient trees, which, unfortunately, every year, due to various circumstances, are becoming less and less," the message emphasized.
Earlier, EcoPolitic wrote, that the Cabinet of Ministers granted almost 17,000 hectares of forest management territories in Zhytomyr Oblast, in the Korosten district, the status of nature reserve fund lands.
