Connecting Nature Framework: SAINT TRINITY PARK CITY OF BURGAS

The development and maintenance of the green system on the territory of the municipality of Burgas is a main task and priority of the local administration. Over the years, most of the main green areas in the city have been renovated, incl. the sea garden, parks in the residential complexes, under construction is a new recreation area connecting the sea garden with Sarafovo residential area. Along with the reconstruction and improvement of the park spaces, Burgas Municipality is actively working on the maintenance of the urban green system. Periodic inventory of plant species is carried out, and if necessary, old trees, which were found to be unsuitable for the urban environment are replaced with new species. At the moment, Saint Trinity Park is the only larger park area in the city that is neglected and unable to perform its functions.With the support of the Connecting Nature project, Burgas Municipality wants to restore the "shine" of the park and during the process (from planning to implementation) the developed Connecting nature framework will be used.

Surrounded by three firth lakes - Burgas, Mandra and Atanasovsko and with a width of 10-12.5 km and a water depth of 10-12 m, Burgas bay forms the most extensive part of the Bulgarian Black Sea coastline. The availability of natural resources such as nature reserves, protected areas and natural attractions determine the wide biodiversity in the municipality, which is an important factor and condition for development of tourism and other economic and non-profit activities, stimulating small and medium business and development of the labor market. Due to favorable natural and economic conditions, a significant part of the population and economic potentials are concentrated in Burgas Municipality. The geographical location of the city greatly influences its development.
