The research area covers the northernmost part of Edirne province and the Bulgarian border, has the best developed oak forests in the region, but most of it is in the anthropogenic steppe character. In addition, the fact that some parts of the area are limestone bedrock and the elevation of the region makes it a center of attraction as mines and WPP area, although it is not common in the area.

Thus, it is planned to collect and identify the plants in the region, to determine the flora of the area and to make a floristic analysis. With this study, it is aimed to reveal the list of species found in the area, their distribution areas, phytogeographical elements, local names of plants and their use by local people, endemic and rare species and threats on these species. In addition, vegetation types of the area will be determined based on field observations and the boundaries of important habitats will be determined.
