About
The Homilsha Woods National Nature Park (Ukrainian: Національний природний парк «Гомільшанські ліси», romanized: Homil'šans'ki lisy) is a national park of Ukraine that covers established forests in the Donets River valley. The site has been a protected area for a very long time, beginning with Peter the Great designating local territory as a 'protected ship grove' for wood to build ships. The site also has high ecological value as forest-steppe land. Administratively, the park is in the Chuhuiv Raion of Kharkiv Oblast, about 50 km south of the regional city of Kharkiv.
