Raúl Mérida mentioned that the generalitis provided 2,000 native flora to reclaim the area, necessary tools for planting, and raise environmental awareness. «Institutional support and participation are necessary in initiatives like those promoted by Renace Alics to advance in the recovery of our mountains, but above all, to raise awareness that ecological restoration is everyone’s task,» he said.

During the day, volunteers successfully reforested 10,000 square meters with pine trees, almonds, cotton, and olive trees, as well as shrubs like Lentisk, Holm oaks, Rosemary, Thyme, and Esparto. The restoration will be strengthened with the installation of drip irrigation with recycled water after the rainy season, ensuring the ecosystem’s durability.
