The leisure area from Petrești Grove represents an “island of forest in a sea of plain” with an area of 130 ha. The vegetation forming this forest consists predominantly of oak (Quercus robur) with specimens that are over 100 years old. Because of the drying of trees, in this grove have been planted specimens and bushes of ornamental value, mainly pine trees (Pinus sylvestris, Pinus nigra). 

The forest-cell also has a high avifauniistic potential, here the birdwachting could be practiced: thr blackbird(Turdus merula), the beak (Alauda arvensis), the woodpecker (Dendrococus major), the cukoo(Cucculus canorus).
