Sessile oak and hornbeam is the relict association (G1.A1A) reported on the limestone chernozem and dystric cambisol. The total of 138 plants, out of which 16 tree species, 15 bush species and 107 ground flora species, were registered. The mean value of the ecological indices for humidity is 2.54, of the chemical reaction of soil 3.24, of the nutrients 2.48, of the light 3.19, and of the temperature 3.36. Out of total number of the registered plants, there are 56 medicinal plants, i.e. 40.1%: 10 of them belongs to the first, 5 to the second, 12 to the fourth, and 15 species to the fifth healing classes. Due to the high degree of degradation, the sessile oak and hornbeam forests are not rich in the forest fruit trees. The total of 58 honey plants, out of which 8 ligneous, 18 bushy and 32 herbaceous species, was reported in the sessile oak and European hornbeam forests. The mean honey yield of the association is 3.00. The number of the honey plants in blossom is the highest in May, June and July, which enables the long-lasting honey-bee harvesting during the summer months. The beech forest occupy 412.85 hectares of the territory . The coppice stands account for 22.16%, and 5.4%, subsequently, whereas in other parts it occurs in the form of thick scrubs, with the trees thinner than 10 cm. In the aim of site regeneration, the main, accompanying and secondary tree species were defined.
