                                                                   Tellerman forest

I live in Voronesh Region in the town of Borisoglebsk. There are a lot of beautiful places in my hometown.  Thick forests, deep and clean rivers, fresh air, flora and fauna  can draw your attention.

I’d like to tell about forest reserve named Tellerman Forest.

 Tellerman Forest is one of the oldest woodlands in our country, a world-famous natural monument where the Patriarch of oak trees of the Voronezh region grows among giant oaks. This oak tree is more than 350 years old! Its height is more than 35 meters, and the diameter of the trunk is more than 2 meters.

 Tellerman grove is located in the territory of Borisoglebsk  and Gribanovsky areas of the Voronezh region . The area stretches over  more than 40 hectares on the right banks of the Vorona and Hoper rivers.

 From the time of Peter I  Tellermans grove was  known as the best area  for building  ships. Oaks trees  from  these place were cut down and sent for the military fleet in Voronezh.  After the end of the Azov campaigns, the southern part of the forest remained state-owned, and the Northern part was transferred to the private domain of count Kuleshov.

Nowadays the territory of Tellerman grove is regarded as the “Most precious forest”, some parts of it are considered to be the national monuments .
