8 bags of waste were collected from the Diana shelter. “Plastic products, bottles, cans, unnecessary items and even a ceramic sink were thrown there by unscrupulous citizens,” said forest inspector Stiliyan Stanev from the Shumen Plateau Nature Reserve, who cleaned up the area. The shelter is located near the road to the village of Novosel, after the Hunting Lodge. The place is often visited, but also one of the most polluted. Park employees have to clean it periodically. Although the roof, benches and tables are made of concrete, there are traces of vandalism.
The employees of the Directorate of the Shumen Plateau Nature Reserve will continue to maintain the park infrastructure, but remind that after a picnic in the forest, tourists must collect their waste and dispose of it in the designated places. There are containers placed by the Shumen Municipality next to most of the shelters on the Shumen Plateau, which are serviced by waste collection companies.
