Participatory workshop in Sierra Escalona on the future of the forests in southern Alicante, organised with RENATUREM<\/strong><\/h1><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Next Saturday, 21 November<\/strong>, we are organising, together with RENATUREM Sur de Alicante<\/a> (a platform promoted by the University of Alicante), a participatory workshop open to the public on a plot of land made available to ARBA Vega Baja, in the Pinar de la Perdiz area, within the recently designated Sierra de Escalona and Dehesa de Campoamor Natural Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The plot is situated in an area affected by the high mortality rate among pine trees<\/strong> recorded following the 2023\u20132024 drought, one of the most severe episodes in recent decades in South-east Spain, which has highlighted the need to rethink forest management in the face of advancing climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking at the land together<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The event, which will begin at 9.30 am, will take the form of a participatory workshop: local organisations, researchers and residents of the region will work side by side to analyse the ecological condition<\/strong> of the land and explore possible improvements<\/strong>together, combining scientific knowledge with the experience and concerns of the local community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event will begin with a presentation of the plot of land<\/strong> and a description of its context within the new Natural Park. The group will then tour the site to assess, with the support of experts from the University of Alicante<\/strong>, the various parameters to be considered for the assessment <\/strong>and proposed action plan: topography, existing vegetation, wildlife indicators, landscape units present, etc., following the guidelines set out on the DERTO online platform for an introduction to restoration<\/a>. Finally, all participants will meet to share their views and discuss possible ways of improving the ecological condition of the plot<\/strong>, taking into account factors such as environmental, technical and economic considerations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The outcome of this co-design<\/strong> exercise will result in a number of proposals for action on the ground, which ARBA Vega Baja will be able to implement<\/strong> if we secure the necessary resources. Furthermore, we propose using the site as an experimental plot to test direct-seeding reforestation<\/strong>techniques, on which we are already working alongside the Semillistas<\/a>association, which specialises in this innovative field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A workshop open to the whole community<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The workshop is open to anyone interested, with no prior knowledge required. Admission is free until capacity is reached<\/strong>, but you must register <\/strong>in advance via our contact form<\/a>providing the following details:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
