Teaching and scientific facilities

The Faculty of Forestry is the oldest scientific research institution in the territory of the Republic of Serbia, with more than 100 years long tradition. By a decision of the Ministry of Education, Science and Technological Development from 2020, it was accredited as a state scientific research institution in the field of biotechnical sciences – agriculture, forestry and fisheries.

The Center for Teaching and scientific facilities

The teaching bases are used for organizing and teaching and for the realization of other forms of work in the execution of the curriculum and programme of education and scientific research. Greater emphasis is also placed on recreational tourist activities.

The Goč Teaching Base

The Goč teaching base is an extremely forested mountain area, which has been declared a teaching and scientific research centre in Serbia as a characteristic forest mosaic of autochthonous tree species of Serbia, and as such this centre has been improving and developing for fifty years. The representativeness of this area is reflected in the presence of 650 plant species, of which some are endemic, rare, endangered and internationally important.

Arboretum

The natural asset “Arboretum of the Faculty of Forestry” of the University of Belgrade is a green area with a specific purpose and exceptional botanical and landscape-architectural value, and a natural monument of floristic character, established on the outskirts of the city center. Due to its exceptional values, it was declared a protected natural area of category III as a protected natural area of local character in 2011. Its geographical position, ecological characteristics of the represented specimens of woody and shrub species and intraspecific taxa, concepts of fields, plots, lawns, paths, alleys and park furniture, provide plenty of material for creating scientific and professional studies on the Arboretum. The floristic diversity of the Arboretum is reflected in the high share of exotic, autochthonous and allochthonous woody and shrubby species. The plant stock includes about 200 woody species, subspecies, hybrids and cultivars, represented by about 1,500 specimens. Such a diverse biofund, distributed, by systematic affiliation, on connected wholes (fields and plots), makes this Monument of Nature extremely attractive.
