Mihkli Nature Reserve is a nature reserve situated in Mihkli village in south-western Estonia, in Pärnu County.
Mihkli Nature Reserve has been created to protect one of Estonia's most important oak forests. The oak forest, around 250 years old, has a large number of oaks of unusually large size. In addition, birch and European crab apple also grow in the forest.[1]
