About area
The well-known and very popular National Park got the important International Biosphere Reserve status under the Man and the Biosphere UNESCO program in 2004.
The key natural attraction on the sidelines of the reforestation area is Lake Valday, the cleanest and the deepest (193 ft) lake in the Novgorod region. On an island of Lake Valday you can see the Valday Iversky Monastery, the spiritual center of the Valday land. The domes of the monastery are clearly visible from the opposite side of the reforestation area.
The area selected for reforestation was damaged by strong hurricane winds blowing trees down in October 2019. Reforestation is necessary to prevent succession of landscape that can trigger a change in species composition of the old-aged forests, which should be prevented as the area includes the experimental site Tayezhny Log of the National Hydrology Institute where long-term observations of water balance parameters are carried out.
