The planned actions will involve the removal of waste and exotic flora, the recovery of native vegetation and paths, the creation of feeding and refuge areas for fauna and the generation of recreational spaces. Work will be done with neighbors for the removal of exotic plants and planting of native vegetation in private gardens
Plots subject to urban reversion have been incorporated into the areas of action that will go from developable to public green areas, ensuring the durability of the corridor.
- Creation of a large natural corridor from San José Obrero, Finca Medina, to Las Canteras through various actions to remove waste, invasive exotic flora, improve native vegetation and promote biodiversity with the installation of shelters and creation of a sheet of water.
- Renaturalization of numerous green areas outside the corridor.
