Project summary

Edit project overview to modify the project summary.

The work carried out aims to improve the processes of regeneration and improvement of forest structure, minimize erosion, improve the social use, improve the drainage of the stream and the biological connection of a weir with a fish ladder and rehabilitate different habitats. The main objectives of this project are improved post-fire forest structure with the removal of dead wood and selective pruning of some feet; improvement of plant diversity by planting species; improving the dynamics of the stream; promote the area as a recreation space the stream and the home environment of the Muntada; sort the area to prevent environmental deterioration (erosion, loss of soil and plant diversity, etc..); landscape integration of the work done. The project has a total budget of 72.226 € and is financed by the Council of Barcelona and by the Natural Park Sant Llorenç de Munt i l'Obac.
