Flora and fauna

Halych NNP is on the border of two important ecoregions – the Central European mixed forests ecoregion and the Carpathian montane forests ecoregion. Because of the mixing of flora and fauna in such a transition zone, the park exhibits great biodiversity. About 70% of the park is forested, and an additional 15% is wetland. The forest cover is primarily oak-hornbeam and oak-beech.[2]

Public use

The park features extensive trails for hiking and ecological education.[1] There is a nature museum on the grounds ('The Nature of Galician Earth') in Halych (Galicia-Gora 1). It has 199 exhibits, including dioramas of local habitats, and displays of over 180 animals. The park also sponsors an animals rescue center to care for sick or injured wildlife, which the public may visit. There is a small fee for entry to park, and for use of trails and selected attractions.Шаблон:Citation needed
