The work is focused on the development of scientific foundations for the restoration of degraded forest ecosystems and was carried out in the forest park part of the Botanical Garden, which has been under anthropogenic influence for a long time. As a result of the geobotanical survey, a high degree of vegetation degradation was established. An environmentally appropriate list of plants was prepared for the restoration of the floristic composition of the area. Reintroduction of 61 species from 31 families was carried out using planting material from garden nurseries and natural habitats. Observations of the initial stages of formation of reintroduction populations of a number of protected species were conducted.
