In the bosom of the canyon, a grove of a relic species of ash that survived the era of glaciation, the Sogdian ash, has been preserved. Another similar grove exists only in North America. Since 1964 Ash Grove has been declared a natural monument. Also of great interest is the turanga grove - a grove of Asian poplar.
