Project summary

Edit project overview to modify the project summary.

The purpose of the project was to restore the natural environment of Olivar- El Zaudín Metropolitan Park. There was a concern with the improvement and protection of the biodiversity, and the adjustments made to the Las Fuentes stream and the 4 existing lagoons took this into account: both vegetable and animal species, specially avifauna, that proliferated in the immediate vicinity of the stream were preserved. The main works were realted to littler and debris removal, cleaning the stream of invasive plants and earthworks for riverbed and laggon improvement. Autochthonous vegetation plantation was also carried out, both in the immediate vicinity of the stream and in the entire park. To improve social engamenent, existing pathways were intervened and improved, using environmental materials, and lamps and public furniture was included. In addition, a small building was built as a Nature Classroom, where citizen events related to nature can be carried out.
