Burgas Municipality has undertaken a large-scale initiative to green the renovated streets in the heart of the city. The first stage of this ambitious project has already started with the planting of drought-resistant trees.
A reporter on site reports a lively atmosphere on "Patriarch Evtimiy" Street, where workers are energetically planting the first trees. Around 200 linden trees will be placed along this central street.
This act of landscaping is not just an aesthetic correction; it is a carefully considered response to the changing climate. The newly planted trees have been selected with a view to the increasingly frequent periods of drought and extreme heat that are affecting the region. The choice of drought-resistant species demonstrates a proactive approach to adapting the urban environment to climate challenges.
The trees that are finding their new home in Burgas are about 15 years old and reach a height of about 3 meters. These specimens are expected to develop rich crowns that will quickly transform the appearance of the city streets. Grown in a nursery near the city, they are already acclimatized, which bodes well for their development despite the changes in climatic conditions.
Each of the newly planted residents of the city receives its own special watering ring, providing the necessary care for their successful rooting and growth.
The scale of the landscaping goes beyond the scope of one street. A total of over 550 trees are planned to be planted on key city arteries, including "Patriarch Evtimiy" Street, "Debelt" Street, "Ivaylo" Street and "Gladstone" Street. The selection of species is focused on medium-sized, drought-resistant trees that have already undergone the acclimatization process.
In addition to linden trees, the landscaping will also include other species, such as Acer, Platanus, and Celtis, promising diversity in the urban greenery and further contributing to improving the quality of life in the city.
