Los Barrios will replant 27 trees in avenues and parks of the municipality

The streets and parks of Los Barrios will regain 27 trees. The Town Council's Department of Green Infrastructure has launched a replacement campaign to replace the lost specimens as well as shrubs and other plants that have not thrived. The plantings will be done on avenidas 8 de Marzo and Doña Rosa, in Las Haciendas and in Parque de la Paz, as well as on other streets and avenues in the municipality. Among the planned species are melias, albizias, plane trees, ficus and trees of the genus Quercus. In Palmones there will also be replacement of shrubs at various points, on avenida III Centenario, in Fuente Vieja and in Parque del Tren, among other areas. The councillor for Green Infrastructure, Cristina Silva, explained that the campaign responds to the loss of specimens: «We will replace trees on avenidas 8 de Marzo and Doña Rosa, in Las Haciendas and in Parque de la Paz, as well as on other streets and avenues in the municipality».

This action is in addition to the 37 plane trees that the Town Council has just planted on avenida José Chamizo. They will soon be joined by the 20 trees with which the woodland of the fairground affected by the storms will be restored, including plane trees and Chinese soapberry trees. With these three interventions, the municipality will replace 27 trees in streets and parks, 37 plane trees on José Chamizo and 20 more at the fairground.
