The reserve "Belogorye", created in 1979, is located in the Belgorod region in the area of untouched oak forests, as well as in the meadow-steppe areas, where primary and riverine rocky limestones are common, the latter in the form of cliffs. The structure of the reserve "Belogorye" includes "Forest on Vorskla" - also a protected area, created back in 1925. In 1999, the Belogorye Reserve included 4 isolated clusters, 2 of which belonged to the Central Chernozemny Reserve.slide 3

At present, the structure of the Belogorye Reserve includes the following sections: the Forest on Vorskla and Ostrasyevy Yars sections of the Borisovsky District, the Bald Mountains and Yamskaya Steppe near the town of Stary Oskol, Gubkinsky District, and the Walls of Izgorye, Novooskolsky.slide 6
Forest on Vorskla Forest on Vorskla, a nature reserve in the southwestern part of the Central Russian Upland, in the Belgorod Region. Founded in 1925, has existed within its current borders since 1979. The area is 1038 hectares, 990 hectares are covered by forests. The relief is flat, slightly hilly, typical of the Central Russian forest-steppe. . The forest on Vorskla is a centuries-old oak forest of the Central Russian forest-steppe. About 500 species of plants are registered in the reserve, both centuries-old oak forests and steppe vegetation, meadow steppes are typical. Since the reserve is located in a densely populated area, the fauna of the reserve is not rich. A total of 45 species of mammals and 70 species of birds have been noted. Wild boar, roe deer, elk, pine and stone martens, weasel, badger, squirrel, fox, hare are characteristic. Of the birds - gray heron, black kite, kestrel, tawny owl, hobby falcon, roller, saker falcon. Acclimatized raccoon dog.Slide 7
Relatively recently, the reserve was transferred from local to federal subordination. Neither more nor less - directly to the Ministry natural resources Russian Federation It is curious that in the 18th century the oak forest was preserved due to some paradox. On the one hand, during the time of Peter the Great, powerful oaks were actively used to build ships.Slide 8

The coat of arms and the main "chip" of the reserve are powerful old oaks, 250-300 years old. These giants are visible from afar. Ash trees, maples, aspens and other growths do not dare to come close to the powerful kings of the reserve.slide 10
Yamskaya steppe The Yamskaya steppe is part of the state biosphere reserve"Belogorye". The area of the reserve is 566 hectares, it is located 8 km from the city of Gubkin.slide 11
More than 250 years ago, the virgin steppe with an area of 1200 acres belonged to the inhabitants of the Yamskaya settlement of Stary Oskol. Coachmen and pits (parking lots for changing horses on roadways) ensured the movement of government officials and mail. The settlement had its own land used for grazing and haymaking. Communal use of them contributed to the preservation of virgin lands. As a unique virgin corner of nature, the Yamskaya Steppe was discovered in 1921 by Professor V.V. Alekhin in the study of the vegetation of the Kursk province. Since 1935, the site has become a protected area.slide 12

There are about 500 species of plants in the reserve. Main wealth protected area- meadow steppes. Of particular value is the vegetation of the meadow steppes at the outcrops of the chalk. These are feather grass, low sedge, Cretaceous thyme and other species. There are also endemic plants (these are plants that grow only in this place, and nowhere else). This is ephedra two-eared, Kozo-Polyansky's breaker. All of them are relatives of the mountain plants of Mongolia, the south of Siberia and the Southern Urals, such communities are called "lowered Alps". Feather grass, cretaceous backache requires special protection.slide 15

Has a unique combination natural complexes: upland oak forest with chalky pines, feather grass steppes, chalky outcrops, marshy gray alder forests. This is the only place in Russia where you can find Cretaceous pine, Altai wolf, Cretaceous pine. The plot area is 267 hectares.slide 19
Wetlands and forests of the "Stenki-Izgorye" protected area are an important reserve for the conservation of animals, including nesting birds.slide 20

In the forests in high hollows they live the bats, squirrels, stone martens. Yellow-throated mice, redheads and bush voles live in old stumps and basal hollows. Shrews hide in the forest litter. Foxes and badgers forage for themselves in the area of high-stemmed areas. Roe deer and elk feed on euonymus, while wild boars stay all winter in good years. Jackdaws, woodpeckers, roller-rollers, sparrows, swifts, nuthatches, common owls predominate in the age-old oak forest. A colony of gray herons lives in the central part. Black kites are settling in the vicinity. A large colony of rooks lives on a site of tall oak forests. White storks nest on edge oaks. Bark beetles, barbels, goldfish live in the bark of dying trees. A lot of insects and pests of the forest. Ungulates and blue hare graze on the edges at night. AT sunny days a mass of bees, bumblebees, butterflies fly over the flowers. In the southern part of the reserve, there are burrows of badgers, foxes, and raccoon dogs. In the thickets of willow and reeds, corncrake chicks, thrush-like and marsh warblers hatch. Various frogs and toads live in marshy places.
The territory of the modern reserve Belogorie has been a special area for several centuries, which is of interest to scientists, industrialists and connoisseurs of nature.
Back in the time of Peter the Great, this region was valued for the wood that was mined in these places. She was building ships. Count Sheremetiev had hunting grounds here, and the whole territory was under the protection of the sovereign. Perhaps this is what saved the most valuable forests from cutting down.
The Belogorye Reserve is a museum of nature with almost century history.
In 1925, on the site of modern Belogorye, a small reserve "Forest on Vorskla" was created on the site of the last remaining untouched riverine oak forests, which are typical for this region and, in general, for the Central Russian forest-steppe. In 1979, other protected zones were created - for meadows and steppes located on limestone outcrops and on limestone cliffs. The whole complex of protected areas was united into the Belogorye nature reserve, as we know it today.
The relief of Belogorye is very diverse. On the territory of the reserve you can find both ravines and beams, the network of which is very developed here. On the territory of the Central Russian Upland is the very "Forest on Vorskla", namely on its southwestern slope.
True, what is not in the reserve is permanent reservoirs or springs. But not far from the outskirts of the Forest, the Vorskla River flows, after which it got its name. protected area. Here is also its tributary - Gotnya, and the tributary of the Gotnya itself, called Loknya.
The upland oak forest that fills the "Forest on Vorskla" and the right bank of the river of the same name is a unique forest. The fact is that this is the last surviving old-growth oak forest in the Central Black Earth Region, which has survived to this day. Many species of trees grow here, some of which are already 300 years old. Here you can find aspen, wild apple, pedunculate oak, Norway maple, small-leaved linden and other tree species. There are also those that are listed in the Red Book - the Manchurian apricot, the most beautiful feather grass, balsamic poplar.
The fauna here is also diverse. , fox, badger, polecat, European roe deer - can be found quite often, since their populations are numerous in this area. However, even among the representatives of the fauna there are rare specimens listed in the Red Book, mainly birds, there are more than 10 species of them - bustard, steppe eagle, short-toed eagle and others.
The nature museum of the reserve is waiting for tourists who go on a tour of Belogorye. Also on its territory you can visit the house-museum of academician Sukachev - an outstanding botanist, forestry specialist and geographer. The convent of the Tikhvin Mother of God was once located here, and today you can see the estate of the former monastery. Both the arboretum and the protected oak forest are worth visiting. There are also guided tours to the 17th century notch line.
