A further 375 trees will reinforce the reforestation work being carried out in the green areas of Faro, having the City Council awarded the supply of these plants this Monday, 7 June.
The contract, signed with Viveiros do Cardeal, for the value of 39.617,50 euros, will include the supply of 100 lotões (australis celtis), 20 jacarandas (jacaranda mimosifolia), 75 oiaias (cercis siliquastrum), 50 plum trees from the garden (prunus cerasifera var. pissardii), 70 downright (lagerstroemia indica), 40 tips (tipuana tipu) and 20 sour orange trees (citrus aurantium).
«These species were chosen according to the technical characteristics presented, so that their integration into the urban environment is done harmoniously, without hindering movement and pedestrian mobility» says the municipality of Farense.
Another aspect taken into account was the root system of the species, which led the municipality to look for trees whose roots do not damage the pavements, walls and surrounding urban furniture, respecting the characteristics of each area of the municipality.
Work will begin in the coming weeks, in line with the planned schedules, with the planting of 357 trees in areas where there are empty boilers and trunk stumps.
Thus, "all the specimens that were lost in recent years" will be replaced, while all trees that are declining or malformed, that are potential risk points for people and goods or that are obstacles to mobility will be replaced, as survey carried out by the City Council's Environment Division.
The Chamber of Faro he says that this investment is part of his «continuous effort» to reforest the municipality, for which «more than a thousand trees have already been acquired in the last three years».
