These actions are in addition to others for $ 4.5 million made since 2008.

85% of this investment has been used to pay labor, since in these proceedings, among which include reforestation, road improvements and small dams, machinery is rarely used.

The Director General of Natural Heritage of the Autonomous Community, Pablo Fernández, and Alderman of Environment of the City of Lorca, Melchor Morales visited today the results of silvicultural works for a project in the area of forest Zarcilla Ramos, in the town of Lorca.
