COMANA NATURAL PARK

The Comana Reserve brings together the Butcher’s Broom (ruscus aculeatus) Natural Reserve, the Peony (peonia peregrina) Scientific Reserve and the Comana Pond into a single natural park. Relatively close to Bucharest, this is an oasis of relaxation and a way to escape the day to day rush.

HISTORY

The Comana Park was born in 2004 when, based on scientific documentation, the Comana Pond joined the two reserves: Peony and Butcher’s Broom. Together, these three protect areas of great floristic, faunistic and avifaunistic importance. However, there are few people who know that the Comana Natural park is like a second Delta for Romania, from the perspective of its biodiversity.

The Romanian Academy has taken measures well before this date, to make this area into a natural reserve in order to protect the two flora reserves.

The Comana Reserve is the most extensive protected area in the Wallachian Plain. The most important reason for the creation of this reserve is the ecological restoration of the areas destroyed uncontrollably by mankind.

The reserve stretches over 24,963 acres divided as follows:

9,613 acres of forests, of which: 197 are private and 9,416 are state forests. It is expected that 500 additional acres go from the state to the private sector after the application of Act 247 of 2005;
1,180 acres representing the Comana Pond;
Approximately 300 acres of humid swampy, salty areas, which flood regularly, or bodies of water;
The remaining 193,870 acres are agricultural land, grasslands, pastures and roads.
The protected areas are the two reserves, as follows: the Butcher’s Broom Natural Reserve, 258 hectares wide, and the Peony Scientific Reserve with a total surface area of 227 acres.

From the above we can see that the reserve also includes grasslands, arable land and pastures. This is because although the reserve is a protected area, it includes 5 villages: Comana, Vlad Tepes, Budeni, Falastoaca and Gradistea. However, their inhabitants are only allowed to use certain lands designated by law, for farming and grazing.
