GREEN FUTURE

The project focuses on the implementation of expert exchange of knowledge, experience, tradition and good practices in the field of monitoring, early detection and control of drying and its impact on forest micro and macro ecosystems through development and joint exploration of risk zones and presentation of information on the dynamics of drying of coniferous and deciduous plantations from protected areas for a period of 10 years.
Within the project the following equipment will be purchased: mobile stations for measuring of climatic and soil conditions, computer serving mobile stations, laptops, Tablets, GPS, specialized vehicle for monitoring of primary crisis reaction, quadcopter and others for observing from the air the general state of the forest ecosystem in inaccessible areas and provide the information for analysis.
The project also includes monitoring of forests affected by drying, summarizing and presenting the results, their impact on the forest ecosystem and investment in afforestation in a new forest: afforestation of 80 decares area, of which 40 decares on the territory of Republic of Bulgaria, on the land of the village of Dennitsa, Bolyarovo Municipality with typical local tree species, namely "Quercus frainetto" and Quercus cerries", and 40 decars on the territory of Turkey, on the land of the village of Lalapasa, with the typical local tree species "Quercus rubra".
The implementation of the project will contribute to the balanced development of forest ecosystems in the croos-border area and the foundations for professional cooperation between forest engineers in Bulgaria and Turkey will be set up. The preparation of a joint management plan for risk areas will achieve the successful management of the affected by abiotic and biotic factors of the forest.

Project status: Finished

The project partners have implemented the activities according to the schedule.

The Green Future project is inspired by the idea that deforestation is a problem of the forest and the people, with regional, national and cross-border significance for Bulgaria, Turkey and the Balkan Peninsula, as well as for Europe and other continents with large forests. We launched the Green Future project with an Introductory conference in November 2019. We continued with the actual implementation work for the set goals. We bought two specialized vehicles and 10 mobile stations in the cross-border area.

In the spring of 2020 we started the investment part of the project by creating a forest crop on an area of 80 decares, of which 40 decares on the territory of Republic of Bulgaria, on the land of the village of Dennitsa, Bolyarovo Municipality with typical local tree species, namely "Quercus frainetto" and Quercus cerries", and 40 decars on the territory of Turkey, on the land of the village of Lalapasa, with the typica
