OVER 150 NATIVE SPECIES PLANTED IN THE “CABEZO DEL SANTO AND EL MOLINETE”

During the weekend of 18th and 19th February, about 40 people, including children and adults participated in the reforestation day organized by the hiking club “Amigos de la Naturaleza” of Mazarron. This initiative, which included the assistance of the City of Mazarron through its Department of Environment, developed the area Cabezo del Santo and El Molinete.

Participants planted over 150 plants donated by the garden centres, “Maestra”, “La Fuencisla” and “La Gardenia” These included a large number of native plants such as thyme, rosemary and pines. During the following week, participants visited these two areas to irrigate and control plants during the first days of their life.

As expressed by the organizers, "after this time we want to ensure that reforestation does not remain merely an isolated action. So with the help of volunteers, we will carry out the necessary care for the plants to see them continue to develop and grow our green spaces. "He also thanked the support of the hall "who gave us the means to carry out this activity."

The activity was attended by the Mayor of Mazarron, Ginés Campillo, and the Mayor of the Environment, David Fernandez, who participated in some of the planting, as did a large group from The Association “ASPADEM” who actively participated with their President Juan Zamora. “Amigos de la Naturaleza” and AMPA Gines Garcia are looking into the opportunity to repeat this activity.
