Wilderness Landscape & Natural Heritage
Located in the Lori Province of Armenia, Stepanavan Dendropark is a 35-hectare botanical garden founded in 1933. It serves as a key site for ecological studies and conservation efforts in the region. The Dendropark houses more than 500 plant species, both native and exotic, making it a rich repository of plant life. Its origins lie in forest management and research, initially focusing on afforestation and plant acclimatization in Armenia's northern climate. Visitors can explore its tranquil paths, providing ample recreational opportunities such as walking, bird watching, and photography. The park also functions as a crucial green space for the community, offering insight into Armenia's ecological diversity and history.
