In the Valencian Community, adaptation measures have been implemented on 80 hectares through the renaturalisation of Pinus pinaster reforestation: 28 ha in Castellón, 42 ha in Alicante and 10 ha in Valencia.
The first of the works to be completed was in Barracas, in the province of Castellón, in 2023 and at the end of 2024, the actions in Confrides, in Alicante, were completed. The procedure in both cases has been very similar. The aim has been to increase the heterogeneity of the reforestation by creating clearings in 40% of the area.
These spaces will favour the regeneration of Pinus pinaster and allow the colonisation of other species, contributing in the medium term to increasing the canopy’s biodiversity. Work is expected to begin in the coming weeks in the municipality of Alpuente, in the province of Valencia.
