The arboretum Lisicine was founded in 1963 under direct leadership of the graduated engineer Djuro Jorgic from Podravska Slatina. The forest organization on its region, at the village of Lisicine, has founded the arboretum on the surface of about 50.0 ha. About 1.500 taxa from the Balkan dendroflora and some more important species from the other continents have been represented in it till these moments.
Favorable natural conditions, geographic position, terrain configuration, climate and edaph opportunities and also the social fitness enable a good perspective, as for the arboretum development and it gives chances for its widening in future. It is a fact that there are few objects of this type in our country, it points out to the great importance for developing of the arboretum and becoming significant not only for Slavonia but even more widely.
It is very favorable that the arboretum has been established by the forest organization, a guarantee of order to achieve the fixed aims. Ideas and project realization for arranging of the arboretum Lisicine have been the personal preoccupation of Djuro Jorgic from the day of the foundation till today. He had the idea into the consideration it the very beginning of his profession and it has been totally realized.
