Recreation in state forests

Elistvere Animal Park was established in 1997. Until 2002, the animal park was managed by the Vooremaa Nature Centre Foundation. From 2002-2008, the animal park was managed by non-profit organisation Eesti Metsaselts. As of 1 July 2008, Elistvere Animal Park is a part of RMK’s Tartu-Jõgeva rest area.

The animal park shows wild animals that live and used to live in Estonia in as natural conditions as possible.

Elistvere Animal Park and nature trails are marked with various information stands and boards. Several plants along the nature trails are labelled. There are several plants under nature protection among the plants that grow in the park.
The newer portion of the nature trail introduces the lifestyle of beavers and other forest biota. People can admire beautiful views and ancient trees in the manor park. Elistvere Lake is the special conservation area of Natura 2000.
