National day of nature parks. Great idea !

In Bulgaria the 23rd of May is the national day of nature parks. On this day all nature parks in Bulgaria receive some extra attention. In Strandja Nature Park, Bulgaria’s largest and most important protected area, a big spring-clean of the park took place.

Keeping beautiful areas beautiful

A bus full of volunteers came to help with the cleaning of some of the most popular spots in the park. We joined them and armed with garbage bags and gloves, we were sent on a mission to remove as much rubbish as possible. Together with the staff of the park administration, including the director, we worked for several hours to clean a variety of places. It felt really good to be able to do something to help preserve this beautiful area.
