The Community, through the Ministry of Employment, Universities, Business and Environment, has invested a total of 33,158 euros in the work of conditioning and signaling the path of the protected site Humedal de Ajauque and Rambla Salada.
Restoration activities have been carried out within the municipality of Las Torres de Cotillas, in the section that runs between the tourist lodge of this town and the Lomas de la Melera, to the north, and the Segura River, to the south .
The work, in particular, consisted of improving the layout in those sections where it was more deteriorated, reaching to expand its width up to one meter to facilitate the passage of users and avoid the entry of vehicles that may damage the road.
In some sections, it has also been necessary to carry out specific vegetation clearings that made it difficult for pedestrians to pass through.
The General Director of Medio Medio, Consuelo Rosauro, toured this week part of the newly conditioned stretch accompanied by the mayor of Las Torres de Cotillas, Isabel María Zapata.
"These actions are framed in our commitment to value the unique spaces of the Region and thus promote their knowledge and direct contact of citizens with these natural resources, so that they are involved in their conservation through sustainable and responsible use of them, "said Consuelo Rosauro.
As part of the improvement actions, co-financed through the European Fund for Regional Development (ERDF), the information and directional signage that was in poor condition has been replaced.
