The National Forestry University Botanical Garden, located on Henerala Chuprynky Street, serves as a specialized research and educational facility for the Ukrainian National Forestry University. Established to support dendrological study, the garden houses an extensive collection of rare woody plants, shrubs, and exotic flora. The site functions as a living laboratory for students and researchers, featuring systematic planting zones that display diverse botanical specimens. Visitors can explore winding pathways that transition through different ecological collections. The garden maintains a collection of both native Carpathian species and introduced exotic varieties. It functions as a preserved green space within the urban fabric of Lviv, prioritizing scientific conservation over ornamental display. The grounds are designed to showcase tree development stages and cross-breeding experiments.
The central arboretum trail intersection, which provides the best view of the mature specimen canopy.
Wear sturdy walking shoes, as the paths are often unpaved and can become muddy after rain.
Bring a field guide or plant identification app, as many specimens are tagged for scientific study rather than public information.
Respect the research signage, as some areas are restricted to faculty and student field experiments.
Do not treat the space as a standard recreational park; it is a research site, and recreational activities like picnics or ball games are not appropriate.
Operations may be limited during academic holidays or winter months when research activity decreases.
Stay on marked trails to avoid damaging sensitive research plots; smoking and picking plant specimens are strictly prohibited.
