Project summary

Edit project overview to modify the project summary.

The stretch to restore is near the town center, which has led to the channeling of the river and the installation of auxiliary structures. On the other hand, it has increased the proliferation of alien invasive species and it has retreated riparian vegetation. The main actions in this project are: the use of new bioengineering elements in order to stabilize slope banks; naturalize space by planting trees, shrubs and heliophilous; management of drainage of surface runoff by constructing a rainwater collect. The project has a total budget of 20.354,29 € and is financed by the Municipality of Sant Antoni de Vilamajor.
