They explain that these trees are no longer merely forest or agricultural items, to become unique pieces of natural and cultural heritage consisting of monumental trees alive.
They think that will be very positive the implementation of measures that allow and keep them in good condition as long as possible, since these elements offer many possibilities within the field of environmental education and sustainable development.
Among the measures proposed they include the development of a diagnosis of all botanical specimens catalog of land-use planning (Plan).
Based on criteria of history, richness, variety or uniqueness of botanical specimens, a protection regime will be established.
Also proposed the development of a tutorial of trees that make up the catalog, to be used for teaching and educational goals.
They also call placing small explanatory signs on the copies, where his name, perimeter, age and other characteristics of interest specified.
IU-Green opens the possibility that, through citizen participation and collective environmental defense, collaborate to enrich the catalog of monumental trees PGOU Jumilla.
Currently in this catalog you can be found almost a hundred copies.
From IU-Greens declare: "Every time a tree is sacrificed to build something in place, Jumilla lost an essential part of their heritage."
They are concerned about the poor condition of the trees, especially the urban center and public gardens as the botanist who are highly deteriorated.
They believe that such measures are necessary for the protection of the landscape and nature, so expect to be carried out quickly.
They conclude reaffirming its commitment to nature and the environment and showing his hope that these proposals will be supported in the next municipal plenary for the rest of municipal groups.
