We are excited to announce that our commitment to renovating and creating eco-trails in our region is stronger than ever. Following the success of our recent eco-trail renovation in Smiljan, we are now embarking on an ambitious new project—creating an entirely new eco-trail in the picturesque village of Selište.
This new eco-trail is more than just a path through the woods; it’s a symbol of our community’s dedication to preserving and celebrating the natural beauty that surrounds us. We are working closely with several key institutions, including local forestry departments, environmental agencies, and other stakeholders, to ensure that this eco-trail is thoughtfully designed and sustainably built.
The project is a collaborative effort that brings together not only these institutions but also a passionate group of volunteers. Their hard work and dedication are at the heart of this initiative, as we strive to create a space where people can connect with nature, learn about local ecosystems, and enjoy the tranquility of the outdoors.
This eco-trail is an integral part of our larger project, “Rural Youth Empowerment: Bridging the Gap for Environmental Advocacy,” which is co-funded by Youth and Environment Europe (YEE). The project aims to engage young people in environmental initiatives, empowering them to take active roles in the conservation and sustainable development of their communities.
Me, Valentin Kehayov, and Severin Bobachev are personally involved in this initiative, working closely with the youth in our region to make this vision a reality. We’re not just building a trail; we’re building a legacy of environmental stewardship that will benefit our community for generations to come.
One of the most rewarding aspects of this project is the increasing involvement of young people. As we move forward with the eco-trail in Selište, we are seeing more and more youth eager to participate. This is not just a volunteer opportunity; it’s a chance for young people to learn, grow, and become leaders in environmental advocacy.
Severin and I have been working hand-in-hand with these young volunteers, sharing our knowledge and experience, and witnessing their enthusiasm as they contribute to this meaningful cause. Together, we are fostering a sense of pride and responsibility for our natural surroundings.
As we continue to develop this new eco-trail, we’re collecting stories—stories of collaboration, hard work, and the shared goal of making our region a better place. Each tree marked, each sign installed, and each step taken along this new path is a testament to the power of community and the importance of preserving our environment.
The eco-trail in Selište is just the beginning of many exciting developments to come. As we continue to engage with local institutions, volunteers, and young people, we are confident that this project will not only create a beautiful new space for our community to enjoy but also inspire further environmental initiatives in the region.
Stay tuned for more updates as we bring this eco-trail to life and continue our mission to make our region a model of sustainability and environmental awareness.
Thank You to Our Supporters
We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to Youth and Environment Europe (YEE) for their ongoing support, as well as to all our partners and volunteers who are making this project possible. Together, we are making a lasting impact, one trail at a time.
