This week have begun the conservation and improvement of the species in the Municipal Catalog of Trees of Local Interest, Singular and Monumental of Molina de Segura, given the importance they have for the municipality as a natural heritage to conserve, as reported by the Councilor of Environment of the Molinense City Council, Juan Alcaide Quirós.
"The Natural Environment Service of the Department of the Environment guarantees real and permanent support of a scientific, economic and legal nature to this sensitive, delicate and irreplaceable natural heritage, so it is essential to know how they are, what they need, and what can we do to preserve them, "says Alcaide.
Throughout three weeks and under the direction and inspection of the municipal biologist, a professional of the arboriculture, Jesús Puerta, with Certificate of the EAC (European Council of Arboriculture) as an arborist climber, with a minimum of five years of experience in this type of work with monumental and unique trees, will carry out studies of the defense system of trees against wounds and fungi that break down wood, its biomechanics, the aging and senescence processes, the conditions that favor and harm the root development or the interrelation with fungi and soil microorganisms to establish the necessary actions for their conservation, as well as restoration pruning to compensate the weight of the crown.
According to the Councilor for the Environment, "with this service it is proposed to establish the priority tasks to be carried out in 12 copies of the Municipal Catalog of Trees of Local Interest, which coordinates and manages the Natural Environment Service of the Department of the Environment, both pruning of restoration and of dead branches, as of decompaction of land and assessment of the state of conservation ".
The great majority of the municipalities of the Region of Murcia, due to their environmental and historical characteristics, have favored the existence of a great diversity of woody, native and non-native plant species, which are part of our forests, of the agricultural crop fields , and the ornamental vegetation of our towns and cities.
This set of facts has facilitated that in the natural, agricultural and urban environment there are groups and botanical specimens that, due to their exceptional scientific, historical, cultural and social characteristics, present a great value and monumental interest.
These plant groups constitute an irreplaceable arboreal heritage, which is part of the environmental and cultural heritage of our peoples, which implies that its protection and conservation are of public interest.
To reduce the cost of these works, the operator of conservation of the natural spaces of Sercomosa and the Forest Brigade of the Department of the Environment, contracted through the Local Public Employment Program with a grant from the General Directorate of Employment and Training, will collaborate. beneficiaries of the National Youth Guarantee System.
The Service of the Natural Environment will watch and control at all times that the form of provision of the Service awarded conforms to the specifications of the contract.
The cost of the works is 5,483.72 euros.
The term of execution of this service will be of 5 months, from the signing of the contract, and it will be executed mainly in time of rest of the sap of the trees.
