The total area is approx. 500 m2. The arrangement of the plateau provided a new landscaped area for the implementation of educational, entertainment and recreational activities.
3. Completion of the platform: it includes the floors as well as the installation of a protective fence on the platform next to the outdoor classroom, accessible to people with disabilities. Two ecological trash cans are placed in the nature classroom.
4. Installation of the gate: Directly at the entrance to the special nature reserve Koviljsko-Petrovaradisnki rit-Karlovački Dunavac, a wooden gate made of acacia poles, 5.5 m high and 4.5 m wide, has been installed, which has an upgraded information board on which the basic values are graphically displayed of the special nature reserve Koviljsko – Petrovaradin rit. Due to their height and weight, the load-bearing pillars are buried 70 cm into the ground and supported by acacia pillars so that the newly built gate can be safely and adequately placed. The posted gate with a map contains the logos of the partner organizations as well as the source of funding. In the immediate vicinity of the newly built classroom in nature, a new information board with dimensions (height 3m, width 1.5m) was placed, on which some of the protected species present in the area of the Karlovac Dunavac are presented. Two new 50cm x 50cm trash cans were made. Defects on previously created objects (information boards, classroom in nature, fence…) caused by inappropriate behavior of individual visitors were also removed.
5. Ensured visibility of project results: Project visibility is ensured through cooperation with other civil organizations, as well as with the local population (especially children and youth). Cooperation involves the dissemination of information about the implemented project and the promotion of Karlovacki Dunavac as an increasingly organized place suitable for recreation by citizens of Sremski Karlovac and visitors to Sremski Karlovac, through announcements in the media and social networks. An event was organized attended by the members participating in the project, within which the results so far will be presented, as well as a presentation of the broader values of the area with planned elements that would be implemented in this calendar year.
