The Ostankino Estate encompasses a rich mosaic of natural forests and freshwater lakes, making it one of Moscow’s rare ecological sanctuaries. The estate includes a wildlife observation station where visitors often spot squirrels, rabbits, ducks, and various migratory birds—especially vibrant during autumn migration season. The lakes host native species like European pike and white carp, supporting ecological fishing programs that require permits. A designated wetland conservation zone hosts regular environmental education workshops on biodiversity. With over 20 km of eco-trails, the estate offers paths marked with interpretive signs, ideal for jogging, cycling, or hiking. Visitors can also join citizen-science initiatives such as tree planting and riverbank cleanups, promoting hands-on environmental stewardship throughout the year.
