Field measures step two - And winter can begin!

By planting more than three hundred seedlings of wild apple, pear, plum, cherry, walnut and bear hazel on more than two hectares of the area of our Stara planina, we have taken another step towards the preservation of biodiversity and the connectivity of the corridor of large animals!

Wondering how?

In the next two to three years, these seedlings will provide food for numerous herbivores, including omnivores such as bears. Since the bear, even the wolf (considering it feeds on herbivores such as deer, rabbit, wild boar), will find food in its natural habitat, they will not come into contact with people so often, and that is a step forward in terms of human wildlife coexistence.

We were very careful in chosing planting material to ensure that the seedlings were native species because they are more resistant to changed climate conditions - they have a greater chance of surviving in drought conditions and severe frosts. Moreover, we did our best to provide protection in the first year of their life (white, protective covers around the seedlings that are biodegradable).

Keep the fingers crossed that this fruit orchard survives for now, because it will help the animals, but also us, too. By preserving the natural habitats of large and other wild species, the we are also protecting humans!
