They live in high hollows in forests bats, squirrels, stone martens. Yellow-throated mice, bobcats and bush voles live in old stumps and root hollows. Shrews hide in the forest floor. Foxes and badgers feed themselves in the area of high-trunk areas. Roe deer and elk feed on euonymus, and wild boars stay throughout the winter in good years. The age-old oak grove is dominated by jackdaws, woodpeckers, rollers, sparrows, swifts, nuthatches, and tawny owls. A colony of gray herons lives in the central part. Black kites make their home nearby. A large colony of rooks lives in an area of tall oak grove. White storks nest on the forest edge oak trees. Bark beetles, longhorned beetles, and borers live in the bark of dying trees. There are many insects and forest pests. On the edges of the forest, ungulates graze at night and white hare. IN sunny days A mass of bees, bumblebees, and butterflies fly over the flowers. In the southern part of the reserve there are burrows of badgers, foxes, raccoon dogs. Corncrakes, blackbirds and marsh warblers hatch chicks in thickets of willow and reeds. Various frogs and toads live in swampy areas.

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

Currently, the structure of the Belogorye nature reserve includes the following areas: the areas “Forest on Vorskla” and “Ostrasyevy Yary” in the Borisovsky district, “Bald Mountains” and “Yamskaya Steppe” near the city of Stary Oskol in the Gubkinsky district and “Walls of Izgorye” in the Novooskolsky district.

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, it has existed within its current borders since 1979. The area is 1038 hectares, 990 hectares are occupied by forests. The relief is flat, slightly hilly, typical of the Central Russian forest-steppe. . The forest on Vorskla is a centuries-old oak grove of the Central Russian forest-steppe. About 500 plant species are registered in the reserve; it is characterized by both centuries-old oak forests and steppe vegetation, meadow steppes. Since the reserve is located in a densely populated area, the fauna of the reserve is not rich. In total, 45 species of mammals and 70 species of birds have been recorded. Characteristic are wild boar, roe deer, elk, forest and stone marten, weasel, badger, squirrel, fox, brown hare. Among the birds - gray heron, black kite, kestrel, tawny owl, hobby, roller, saker falcon. The raccoon dog is acclimatized.

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 I, powerful oak trees were actively harvested for the construction of ships.

The coat of arms and the main feature of the reserve are powerful old oak trees, 250-300 years old. These giants are visible from afar. Ash trees, maples, aspens and other shoots do not dare to come close to the powerful kings of the reserve.

Yamskaya steppe 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 residents of the Yamskaya settlement of Stary Oskol. Coachmen and pits (parking areas for changing horses on road routes) ensured the movement of government officials and mail. The settlement had its own lands used for grazing and haymaking. Their communal use 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. Alekhine while studying the vegetation of the Kursk province. Since 1935, the site has become a protected area.

There are about 500 plant species in the reserve. The main wealth protected area- meadow steppes. Of particular value is the vegetation of meadow steppes on chalk outcrops. These are feathery feather grass, low sedge, chalk 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-spikelet, Kozo-Polyansky rupture. They are all relatives mountain plants Mongolia, southern Siberia and Southern Urals, such communities are called “reduced Alps”. Feather feather grass and chalky feather grass require special protection.

This is the only place in Russia where you can find chalk pine, Altai wolfgrass, and chalk tar. The area of the site is 267 hectares.

For the first time protective status received back in the time of Peter 1. In 1925, a forest area on the steep and high right bank of the Vorskla River, one kilometer from the regional center of Borisovka, Belgorod region, was declared state reserve. The decree of Peter I on the conservation of forests assigned the forest near the Borisovka settlement to the Bryansk Admiralty with a ban on logging there “forever”, and until the 19th century, “Zakaznaya Rosha” was protected by horse-drawn nukers and a religious ban, since at the beginning of the 18th century. was transferred by the owner Count Sheremetev to security convent Tikhvin desert.

Animal world The protected area is very diverse. Its avifauna is especially rich, numbering 50-60 nesting, 5-7 wintering and 10-20 migratory bird species, representing 14 orders. Of the mammals, the most abundant in the oak forest are, of course, small mouse-like rodents; In addition, some species of bats and insectivores are common here, as well as foxes, pine martens, European roe deer and some others. An integral part of the fauna of the oak forest are representatives of the classes Amphibians and Reptiles - 6-7 and 5-6 species, respectively. More than 2,500 species of insects have been registered in the Forest on Vorskla, including many rare ones (stag beetle, great green bronze beetle, Hungarian ground beetle, etc.) and about 300 species of arachnids.

Total area: 566 hectares Protected zone: 1400 hectares (width 1 km) Location: 12 km southwest of the city of Gubkin The history of the Yamskaya steppe is connected with the history of the Yamskaya settlement in the city of Stary Oskol. Coachmen and pits (parking places for changing horses on road routes) were under the jurisdiction of the Tsar's Yamsky order and ensured the movement of government officials and mail. Stary Oskolskaya Yamskaya Sloboda, like Streletskaya and Kozatskaya, had its own granted lands, which were used for grazing and haymaking. There is a legend according to which the Yamskaya steppe was donated by Catherine II to the city coachmen of Stary Oskol. The communal use of these lands prevented their sale and contributed to the preservation of virgin lands to this day. The site was transferred to the Belogorye Nature Reserve from the Central Black Earth State Natural Biosphere Reserve named after Professor V.V. Alekhina in 1999.

The most colorful of all the habitats of the Yamsky section of the steppe are on the plains, which cover almost the entire relatively flat, watershed area, except for large hollows and depressions, as well as islands of forest and groves. They occupy the predominant part of the territory - 402.4 hectares. The grass stand here has complex structure, it has several tiers. In July, up to 7 tiers can be distinguished in the steppe. Usually all plants are over 60 centimeters. The most tall plants tiers can reach one and a half meters or more, but such plants are few.

The fauna of amphibians and reptiles of the Yamsky site totals about 10 species, with 2-3 more reptile species. Among birds, ground-nesting inhabitants undoubtedly predominate in density open spaces, however, in terms of the number of species, the composition of representatives of the forest-edge complex is somewhat richer. Reservoirs have large area, due to frequent encounters in its immediate vicinity of a number of semi-aquatic and waterfowl species of birds. In total, about 60 nesting, more than 50 migratory and vagrant, and about 10 wintering species were recorded on the site and adjacent territories. Agile lizard Fox Roe deer
