Bug Gard National Nature Park

Mykolaiv Oblast, Ukraine · built 2009

The Bug Gard National Nature Park (« », Buz'kyj Hard) covers an area along the Southern Bug River in south-central Ukraine. At this point, the Southern Bug River cuts through the southern edge of the Ukrainian Shield (a block of Archean basement rock). The national park is therefore a canyon that transitions the river from the upland plateau to the steppe region. The word 'gard' in the name refers to a type of fishing structure used in the Cossack era. The park is spread in sections over Voznesensk and Pervomaisk districts of Mykolaiv Oblast. The major portions are about 140 km upstream from the estuary of the Southern Bug at the Black Sea.
