Local Activities for World Environment Day

The local environmental action for World Environment Day in Bulgaria...

We went on an eco-trip to the "Byala Reka"eco-path in the "Central Balkan"National Park together with young people from Karlovo and Zlatitsa. Over 50 youing people from Karlovo, Zlatitsa and Kalofer joined the eco-trip.

Our hosts from the National Park gave a lecture to the young people about the history of the park and the biodiversity in it.

We organised a clean-up along the eco-path finding out with great pleasure that there was almost no rubbish despite the thousands of tourists visiting the eco-path weekly.

The young environmental saviors varnished the arbour at the foot of the eco-path so it can be preserved for the future. They also received info leaflets about the centuries-old beech trees in the park and T-shirts with the logo of the park to remind them of this great walk and made them want to come again!
