A unique forest management model of forest cooperatives in the Rhodope mountains will be featured in a European study focused on small-scale forestry.

The Bulgarian News Agency (BTA) reported that the Chepelare-based association is the only Bulgarian beneficiary participating in the EU-funded project SMURF project for small-scale forest management that is part of the Horizon Europe program.

The Gorovladelets Association is currently conducting research on 15 small forest holdings in the Rhodope mountains, the Balkan Range and the Troyan region.

The results from surveys and studies will contribute to a comprehensive European report on small forest enterprises. In line with SMURF’s project requirements, various types of holdings have been analyzed—featuring different tree species, land areas, and ownership models.
