An arboretum is a collection of living woody plants. Apart from scientific research and education, arboreta serve public welfare, contribute to the popularization, planting and maintenance of trees and shrubs, but also have a horticultural value, i.e. they ennoble the area on which they are set. An important endeavor of Croatian Forests Co. Ltd. Zagreb is to renew and arrange the Arboretum Lisičine, located on the area of the Forestry Office Voćin, Forest Management Unit Našice.

The broader area of the Arboretum amounts to 45 ha, of which about 18 ha is beech forest; outside the fenced area there are about 2 ha of land around the building, whereas the remaining, a little less than 25 ha, make up for the Arboretum area in the narrower sense of the word, on which trees and shrubs, as well as many cultivars from various parts of the world are planted. According to Vidaković (1986), until 1985 about 1100 different taxa of trees and shrubs (species, subspecies, varieties, hybrids and cultivars) were planted. During the Homeland War the Arboretum area was occupied and devastated, and the documentation about the grown plants disappeared.
