Founded in the spring of 1966 under the leadership of forester E.P. Skrebets. Today, more than 250 species of representatives of Chinese, Japanese, European, and Siberian flora grow on the plots.

Every year, hundreds of shrubs and trees from different places in Russia and abroad are planted in the arboretum.

By the beginning of 1970, there were 230 plant species in the arboretum. Botanists and scientists sought to grow the most unusual plants in the dry steppe and acclimatize them to the local climate.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the arboretum's economy fell into disrepair.

The territory was not protected, most of the rare trees were destroyed. The protected area has become a place for picnics and garbage dumps. But in 2007, the arboretum grounds were cleared, fenced and landscaped: new types of fast-growing shrubs were planted and a rose garden was laid out. The arboretum has a Forest Museum, which is visited with interest by schoolchildren, students, and pensioners.

Historical facts

Beginning of the 20th century marked by the industrialization of the country. Modern cities were formed and industry developed. In the summer of 1950, Volgodonsk was founded. The reason for its appearance was the construction of the Tsimlyansky hydroelectric complex, a significant facility of the Volga-Don shipping canal.

In the spring of 1950, outside the village of Solnechny, not far from the village of Romanovskaya, they began to clear areas for the construction of workers' dormitories. After 1.5 months, the village began to be built up en masse with multi-storey brick houses.

July 27, 1950 is officially considered the birthday of the city of Volgodonsk. It grew and developed at a rapid pace. A chemical processing plant was built, the port was modernized, and a timber transshipment point was opened. In the 60s theaters, cultural centers, recreation parks were built everywhere, and transport infrastructure was developed.

After the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, life in Volgodonsk changed dramatically. Residents went on strike against the construction of a nuclear power plant in Rostov and demanded that construction work be stopped. During the reign of B.N. Yeltsin, industry in the city fell into decay, workers left the enterprises. Spontaneous rallies and strikes broke out.
