Project summary

Edit project overview to modify the project summary.

The fire in July 2009 burned 3.9 ha of riparian vegetation consists mainly in willows, ash and poplar, which affected the river ecosystem. This project aims the recovery of riparian vegetation burned by the fire. The main actions in this project are: facilitate natural regeneration and recovery of riparian vegetation; sustainable plan for vegetation management of burned area; recovery of riparian vegetation using engineering techniques; control of exotic species as sugarcane and rhizomes, and Aleppo pine. The project has a total budget of 5.782.282€ and is financed by the ACA (Agencia Catalana del Agua), the Municipality of Horta de San Joan and Graëllsia G.E.C.A.
