The Riverside Park of Faro In the last few days, it has gained another fifty broad-canopy trees of native species such as elm, ash, willow, holm oak and cork oak, a “gift” from the União de Freguesias de Faro (UFF).
By planting these trees, the municipality aims to «increase biological diversity in this area, while at the same time seeking to create more natural shaded areas».
«Although the result is not immediate, as the trees now planted will take a few years to grow and develop, this is yet another contribution of this Union of Parishes to the quality of life of citizens and to the environmental sustainability of the city of Faro», according to UFF.
Bruno Lage, chairman of the board, believes that this measure will create «a shelter from natural heat, in order to respond positively to the predictable heat waves, a direct consequence of the phenomena caused by the effects of Climate Change, allowing it to occur during blows. from heat, Farenses can shelter in a place next to the Ria Formosa and with natural shade, which can contribute to a drop of up to 7ºC in the ambient temperature in urban spaces».
«In addition, due to the botanical diversity now planted, this park, in the future, may be considered an area of relevant botanical interpretation, especially in tree species, as it currently gathers around three dozen different species of trees and shrubs, which allows the citizen to know and have direct contact with a series of species in one place», concluded the União de Freguesias de Faro.
