Project summary
The dike built in the 80’s after the canalization works carried out in Arga River was removed to recover the natural floodplain in one of the tributaries’ confluence: Vallacuera stream.
The main objective of this project is to restore the river Arga natural floodplain by removing the dyke and increasing the fluvial territory. There are other secondary objectives: to increase the quality of habitat in Community Interest Areas, with special attention to European mink (Mustela lutreola); creating new habitats for otter (Lutra lutra) and European turtle (Emys orbicularis); quality improvement of habitats 92A0 (willow and black poplar plantation) and 92D0 (tamarisk plantation); spatial planning for cattle.
The project has a total budget of 138.840,25€ and is financed by GERVE-LIFE project, INTERREG GIRE project, "Gestión Ambiental, Viveros y Repoblaciones de Navarra, S.A." and Government of Navarre.
