Belogorye... Father's field.
White smoke over the meadow.
Herbs thick radiance juicy
On the slopes of the chalk.
Curly Heather Snake
Rose over the mountain
And you can't see the shore
Behind the shore grass.
Midnight stars ellipsis,
The clouds move in a crowd.
Belogorye ... Father's field -
What they call their destiny!...

Area - 1038.08 ha. The forest on Vorskla is one of the few protected upland oak forests in the southern forest-steppe. For the first time, it received a protected status back in the days of Peter the Great. In 1925, a forest on the steep and high right bank of the Vorskla River, one kilometer from the regional center of Borisovka, Belgorod Region, was declared a state reserve. The decree of Peter I on the conservation of forests attributed the forest near the settlement of Borisovka to the Bryansk Admiralty with the prohibition of logging in it “forever”, and until the 19th century, the “Custom Rosha” was protected by horse nukers and a religious ban, since at the beginning of the 18th century. was transferred by the owner, Count Sheremetev, to the protection of the convent of the Tikhvin Hermitage.

Description of the slide:

The fauna of the protected area is very diverse. Its avifauna is especially rich, numbering 50-60 nesting, 5-7 wintering and 10-20 vagrant species of birds, which are representatives of 14 orders. Of the mammals, the most numerous in the oak forest, of course, are small mouse-like rodents; in addition, some species of bats and insectivores are common here, as well as fox, pine marten, European roe deer and some others. Representatives of the classes Amphibians and Reptiles - 6-7 and 5-6 species, respectively, are an integral part of the oak forest fauna.

Total area: 566 ha Protected zone: 1400 ha (width 1 km) Location: 12 km south-west of the city of Gubkin The history of the Yamskaya steppe is connected with the history of the Yamskaya settlement of Stary Oskol. Coachmen and pits (parking lots for changing horses on roadways) were under the authority of the royal Yamsky order and provided the movement of government officials and mail. Starooskolskaya Yamskaya Sloboda, as well as Streltsy and Cossacks, had their own reserved lands, which were used for grazing and haymaking. There is a legend according to which the Yamskaya steppe was presented by Catherine II to the city coachmen of Stary Oskol. 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 Reserve from the Central Black Earth State Natural Biosphere Reserve named after Professor V.V. Alekhine in 1999.

Description of the slide:

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

Description of the slide:

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

Purpose: the formation of students' knowledge about the features of reserves and wildlife preserves of the Belgorod region. The planned result of the training, the formation of UUD: students will get acquainted with the reserves, wildlife sanctuaries of the Belgorod region and the Stary Oskol urban district, learn how to work with different sources of information, work in a team. Personal UUD - to develop ecological consciousness, to realize the basic principles and rules of relation to nature, to form a benevolent attitude towards others, to awaken the need for self-expression and self-realization. Cognitive UUD - to form the ability to independently select the necessary information, use sign-symbolic means, define concepts, independently create ways to solve problems of a creative and exploratory nature, form the ability to work with cards. Regulatory UUD - to show cognitive initiative in educational cooperation. Communicative UUD - mutual control and mutual assistance in the course of the task. Basic concepts: specially protected natural areas (PAs), reserves, wildlife sanctuaries, plants and animals of the Red Book.

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 a century of 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.

The terrain: hills, ravines, beams - all this is Belgorod Land.

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 the protected area got its name. Here is also its tributary - Gotnya, and the tributary of the Gotnya itself, called Loknya.

Flora and fauna on the territory of the Belogorye Reserve

The European roe deer is an inhabitant of Belogorye.

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.

What interesting things can be seen in the Belgorod Reserve?

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.

Reserve "Belogorye"

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.

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.

Reserve "Belogorye"

• Relatively recently, the reserve was transferred from local to federal subordination. Neither more nor less - directly to the Ministry of Natural Resources of the 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.

Yamskaya steppe

The Yamskaya steppe is part of the Belogorye State Biosphere Reserve. 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 14

There are about 500 species of plants in the reserve. The main wealth of the protected area is 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.
