About
The Zalissia National Nature Park («», lit. 'Trans-Woodlands') is a state reserve that covers a large forest on the left bank of the Desna River about 20 km northeast of Kyiv. As of 2017, the area is open for limited public access, but is primarily administered as a protected area for the "reception and stay of senior officials", other state uses, and the protection of plant and animal life. A transition to traditional national park status, decreed in 2009, had not been implemented as of 2017. The park is administratively in Brovary Raion of Kyiv Oblast
