2024/09/12: Technical visit to assess the progress of the conservation works of island habitats in the Galician sites of LIFE INSULAR

TRAGSA’s staff continues with the conservation works for preparing the land and removing senescent forest plantations and invasive trees on San Martiño Island (Cíes archipelago), with the beginning of the C3 and C4 actions. So far, 9 ha of plantations have been cleared, task necessary for the subsequent restoration of the targeted island habitats.

This past Thursday 12th September, members of the coordinator IBADER, and of the beneficiary DXPN, could assess directly on the ground the progress of the restoration works. These works constitute a high challenge due to the difficult topography of this territory, as well as the inherent fragility of the island environment.

TRAGSA's high experience in conservation work on coastal areas is a valuable asset for the project, allowing the action to be carried out preferably manually, with almost surgical precision, keeping all the necessary precautions, without affecting the key elements for conservation.
