| The City Council periodically reviews its 700 unique specimens and the nearly 120,000 trees and palm trees in the municipality's gardens on a constant and controlled basis throughout the year | The Murcia City Council, through the Department of Urban Development and Modernization of the Administration directed by José Guillén, continues to carry out a constant and controlled in-depth review of the more than 700 unique specimens and the nearly 120,000 trees and palm trees that are in the gardens of the municipality of Murcia.These works are being carried out by qualified technicians in pruning singular trees who are in charge of reviewing the specimen to check its condition and guide it.

After this action, a report is drawn up detailing the guidelines that are necessary for its maintenance.For this, the Parks and Gardens service has expert arborists who review each specimen, this week the Canarian pines of Alfonso X are being reviewed that are more than 50 years old and are 35 meters high."We continue working to guarantee the safety of all our neighbors, that is our first objective.

In addition, these works allow the trees to grow healthy and with strength.

The green areas are spaces for all Murcians, as well as the authentic lungs of our city, which have to be in perfect condition as they improve the air we breathe and our quality of life "has highlighted José Guillén.The objective of this meticulous review, which has been carried out branch by branch, is to guarantee the safety of the residents of the municipality, in addition to paying special attention to the trees considered unique or unique so that they grow in perfect condition.Some of the species that predominate within the large trees are eucalyptus, ficus, platanus, casuarinas, pinus or celtis, among others, distributed both in Murcia and districts.In this way, the revisions are constant, they are carried out a minimum of twice a year per horse in the case of large copies, they are complementary to those carried out when the so-called emergency protocol is activated, which limits those spaces for safety in which there may be a problem due to the wind, episodes of storms or extreme temperatures."Trees constitute an element of life and energy by generating numerous benefits for the environment, so it must be kept in perfect condition to guarantee the safety of the neighbors and improve their quality of life," reported José Guillén.Innovation that improves and cares for the environment Parks and Gardens also improves the care and safety of trees with atomization technology, which serves to more effectively attack the different pests that can affect large specimens.Another of its advantages is that, thanks to its ability to spray and promote the treatment, it allows it to act in inaccessible places due to its height while doing it with total safety, both for the citizen and for the technicians themselves.This system also minimizes the exposure of operators to phytosanitary products due to the operation of the machinery itself, which optimizes its handling when used by remote control.José Guillén pointed out that "this is yet another proof of the effort to innovate in order to continue improving our quality of life through the care and maintenance of green areas, reducing in turn phytosanitary products and helping to take care of the environment".
