The Cabildo is developing a project to restore areas affected by the fires last summer on the Island. This project is part of the employment creation plan; it includes trail restoration work, defence against erosion and work in areas affected by fires last summer, 2012, in the south-west of Tenerife. The project is co-financed up to 80% by the European Social Fund.
Councillor for the Environment, Ana Lupe Mora, said that the implementation of these works have meant hiring workers from different classes: agricultural engineers, foremen, farm labourers, nursery workers, admin officers and technical officers.
The work has been split into three phases, the first focusing on the infrastructure, the second is defending against erosion and the final phase relates to the vegetation.
There will be replanting, exotic plant removal, conversion of scrubland to high mountain heather, wax myrtle, laurel and thickets, brush and shrub removal etc.
In Vilaflor the tracks and trails will be improved; in Chío restore and refurbishment of trails and recreational areas by building new wells manholes and drainage for the park and in Fasnia in plant nursery work will take place.
