2 million trees
The natural reserves use and management plan is now finally approved.
Among many other things to be done in the future, this is the most extraordinary one. In a term of 5 to 15 years, more than 3.000 hectares of different species of trees are going to be reforested. The actual wood grounds are estimated to 14.000. Therefore and after some documents dealing with protected areas are ratified, Gran Canaria will gain a third of its actual wood grounds.
Mainly pine-trees and other species common in thermophilic woods are to be reforested. The areas where it’s going to be done first are:
- The "Nublo" rural park, extended throughout 8 municipalities: Tejeda, San Nicolás de Tolentino, Mogán, San Bartolomé de Tirajana, Artenara, San Mateo, Valleseco and Moya.
- The "Tamadaba" natural park, concerning Agaete and San Nicolás de Tolentino.
- The "Pilancones" natural park, in San Bartolomé de Tirajana.
- The "Los Marteles" natural reserve, also extended throughout 8 municipalities: Valsequillo, San Bartolomé de Tirajana, Agüimes, Santa Lucía de Tirajana, Telde, Ingenio, San Mateo and Tejeda.
- The protected landscape of "Pino Santo", in Santa Brígida.
That is a great initiative. Great news, thumbs up.
