On October 23, 2025, the Boyarka Forest Research Station, a separate division of the National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine (NUBiP), solemnly celebrated the 100th anniversary of its founding. The event marked a major milestone for the entire forestry community, bringing together experts, scientists, representatives of government institutions, international organizations, and the private sector.
