1. Provisioning services If one goes in the forest, they can return with a variety of mushrooms. Fishing for carp is also easy in the nearby dam. Many households from the outskirts of the city still use wood, collected from chopping old trees around their houses. ![Provisioning - materials][1] 2. Regulating services The apple trees in many house gardens in Sofia would not have had crisp apples in the fall, if it wasn't for the tireless work of the bees. ![Regulating - Pollination][2] 3. Habitat or Supporting services Bulgaria is still the place where many storks return in spring to live and breed. Well respected from the local community, their nests can be seen even on top of street lights along busy city roads. ![Habitat - Storks][3] The fields, on the other hand, are still a place where one can see an area of diversity in simple flowers and their colors. ![Supporting - Maintenance of diversity][4] 4. Cultural services Local art exhibitions feature work, inspired by nature and its integration in the life of the city people. ![Cultural - Inspiration for art and design][5] During times of leisure, one can ride a bike outside and even leave the city behind. ![Cultural - Recreation][6] [1]: https://edxuploads.s3.amazonaws.com/14622267356554611.jpg [2]: https://edxuploads.s3.amazonaws.com/14622254302720372.jpg [3]: https://edxuploads.s3.amazonaws.com/1462225445870171.jpg [4]: https://edxuploads.s3.amazonaws.com/14622254605100931.jpg [5]: https://edxuploads.s3.amazonaws.com/14622254895777266.jpg [6]: https://edxuploads.s3.amazonaws.com/14622273782695762.jpg
