The Department of Parks and Gardens of the Arrecife City Council, under the direction of Councilor Roberto Herbón, is replacing during this week about 30 damaged specimens of the Indian laurel species with new trees of the same family.
Technicians from the company holding the Parks and Gardens service were monitoring these trees to know their status and evolution, with direct treatments. Now, the Department of Gardens is proceeding to remove the damaged specimens - some of them were lifted in years past by the force of the wind, which were planted more than three decades ago with the creation and construction of the Vía Medular, which connects the neighborhoods of Valterra, Los Alonso, Altavista, Titerroy, La Vega and San Francisco Javier, from the surroundings of Puerto de Naos, to the vicinity of El Reducto.
Councilor Roberto Herbón has been directly supervising these planting works with new specimens of the same species, already with a size close to three meters.
Roberto Herbón has detailed that his Area continues with the work of creating new green areas, and care and supervision of the palm grove and existing trees in the capital of Lanzarote, within the actions of the Municipal Government so that Arrecife has more and better shade areas.
The Arrecife City Council is promoting the creation of new green areas where several companies have joined donating trees within their Corporate Social Responsibility programs. Some of the new trees that have been donated to the city are planted in the surroundings of the Adolfo Topham school, and in the leisure and park area next to the Charco de San Ginés, in the vicinity of the School of Fisheries and Charco de San Ginés.
