Lorca socialists consider it essential to focus on reforestation work not only for the benefit of maintaining biodiversity in the natural environment but also to reduce desertification and the catastrophic effects generated by the floods in the Guadalentín high basin.

The councilor of the Municipal Socialist Group in the City of Lorca, David Romera, has exposed the need for the City of Lorca establish a collaboration agreement with the General Directorate of Environment of the Regional Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Environment Autonomous to promote reforestation in the mountains of the municipality while environmental education campaigns are developed for the local population and especially the school-age population.

Romera argued that the Autonomous Community currently has four forest nurseries of its own in several areas of the Region (Moratalla, El Valle, Murcia and Ojós) and that have an average annual production that exceeds half a million plants of 90 species For the restoration of impoverished ecosystems and the diversification of riparian vegetation. "The typology of species produced in these nurseries correspond mainly to species of the Southeast peninsular adapted to edaphic conditions and climatological conditions As scrub, aromatic plants, pines, holm oaks, cypresses and native species.

Therefore, the socialist council has highlighted the need for the City of Lorca "take the initiative in this regard, taking advantage of the availability of these nurseries with autonomous ownership, whose annual production of plants is very high, so that from the same Town Council or through associations or entities dedicated to the protection of nature or other social, cultural or educational, can develop activities of reforestation and environmental education under the relevant technical advice.

David Romera takes advantage of this initiative to ask that from the City of Lorca insist on the development during the next school year, in collaboration with the Ministry and associations for the protection of nature, environmental education campaigns in schools and associations And collective of neighborhoods and county councils, remembering that this proposal of the PSOE pursues four objectives: "to awaken the sensitivity of the population, especially the school, towards the need to protect and conserve our natural spaces as synonymous with health and quality of life for The human being, enhance and expand our forest areas to improve biodiversity, curb desertification, and mitigate the risk of flooding when heavy rainfall occurs in the upper Guadalentín basin.
