About the park

Dry meadows covering 6.9 hectares lie beside well-preserved woodland, including oak stands with trees about 100–120 years old. The terrain links watershed slopes with the valleys of the Ochakovka and its tributaries, among them the Kukrinsky Stream. The Bolshoy Troparevsky Pond has well-preserved natural banks. The whole reserve lies within the Ochakovka drainage basin, and its springs are fed by perched groundwater that gathers partly beneath the built-up areas of Konkovo.

Two groups of Vyatichi barrows survive in the eastern woodland, dating from the 10th–13th centuries. Mounds on the banks of the Kukrinsky Stream are dated more narrowly to around the 12th–13th centuries and regarded as ancient burial grounds. The former name Troparevsky Forest is linked to the village of Troparevo, which stood a little north of the present reserve; the village of Bryukhovo, later called Brekhovo, also stood within its current bounds. In the 1910s, the Novo-Dmitrievsky settlement of several farmsteads appeared here. Part of the road leading to it now runs along the reserve’s eastern side as Tyoply Stan Passage. In the early 1970s, nearly all the settlement’s houses were demolished and the cleared land began to be built over with residential quarters. An apple orchard and a rebuilt house, now occupied by the forestry service, remain.

Birds recorded nearby include great tits, Eurasian blue tits, great spotted woodpeckers and Eurasian nuthatches.
