Green Forest, Timișoara

[3] The area has been inhabited since ancient times, proof of this being a Sarmatian tomb of a woman discovered after archeological surveys in the forest in 1969.

[5] Under the Habsburgs, the forest was declared a hunting area reserved exclusively for the first governor of Banat, Count Claude Florimond de Mercy (1732).

From the planting material produced in the forest nursery (oak, maple, elm, walnut, sycamore, linden, etc.)

[9] The Green Forest is located in the northeastern part of Timișoara and its surface, measuring about 737 ha, is divided into 78 plots more or less square-shaped.

[2] The woody species that grow in the Green Forest are pedunculate oak (Quercus robur), hornbeam (Carpinus betulus), ash (Fraxinus excelsior), Tatar maple (Acer tataricum), field maple (Acer campestre), Turkey oak (Quercus cerris), linden (Tilia sp.)

[10] Among the flowers, worth mentioning is the narrow-leaved helleborine (Cephalanthera longifolia), a species of wild orchid rare in Romania's flora that blooms between April and June.
