Spokesperson IU-V, Pepe Murcia, has counted up to twenty five large pine porte completely dry.

IU requires action to stop this loss of natural heritage.

Jose Garcia Murcia, spokesman of the Municipal Group of IU-V in the city of Lorca, has reported today at a press conference that the vast pine forest flanking the road of Eagles up to Purias is drying by leaps and bounds and that environmental authorities City of Lorca do nothing to prevent it.

Councilman IU-V pointed out that this road, once was a gallery forest in almost all of its route, with alternation of several plant species of large size: pine, eucalyptus and elms that lined this route offering freshness and landscape quality.

In a few years, human actions against this huge green corridor, mainly promoted by public institutions, have deteriorated this natural heritage.

There are sections completely devoid of trees that should replenish, and above all we have the obligation to save the few trees that are left.

To do so requires IU-V councilors of Environment and Parks and Gardens take up the matter immediately, mandatando municipal technical services to take such steps as may be necessary to prevent further drying the trees.

García Murcia argues that the loss of these botanical specimens may be due not only to drought we suffer, but also the actions recently undertaken to remodel the known way in which they have invested nearly four million civil euros, which have again unless there respect the existing natural heritage.

We note, says Garcia Murcia, not only the pines do not care, but some are injured by the performance of machines and others barely have room for viability since the cement of built sidewalks has stuck to the trunk of the trees.

In the same vein, García Murcia has claimed that much of the gardening installed in numerous roundabouts built is also dry and neglected, and should not project works on this scale if after not intend to perform timely maintenance of them and their decorative elements.

Also with regard to this road section, Councilman IU has asked the rail-bike there runs must have continuity to its connection with reaching the city center and should take better care of the delimitation and the environment rail -bici to make it more attractive and safe for its users.
