The non-manufactured beauty of Ukrainian Polissya with its forests and lakes have attracted people for a long time. The estate of Klesivskiy forestry and its arboretum are one of the exotic parts of the green treasury of Polissya. The beginning of the creation of the arboretum was in 1988 by the guidance of forester Olexiy Fedorovych Voron. Thoughtful work was carried out along with the buying and cultivation of plants, planning, layout of paths and flower beds, planting exotic trees and shrubs, especially evergreen species. All new paths, flower beds, hedges, small and large architectural forms of various evergreen trees and shrubs, both domestic and foreign were creating for 19 years. There are more than 120 species of coniferous and deciduous species, the total length of 2 hectares is 400 m in the arboretum. Green kind of architecture is represented by many different compositions from wildlife. These are decorative hedges, pedestals, vases made of evergreen species, as well as wooden figures connected with a forest. They are not just trees or bushes here. Each individual plant or group is a green sculpture created by a great master. The sculptural landscaping appeared in Rivne Region for the first time. It was a real centre of beauty and spirituality. On the territory of the arboretum, there are sculputers called "Love Island", "Bohdan Khmelnytsky's Cup", "Gate to the Paradise" and others. Tired of walking in the park, you can relax on the "green sofas" which are also made of spruce and a bench made of oak. We are constantly working on the design and maintenance of the arboretum.
