Murcia has a large forest estate the wide diversity of environments presented.
The forest area occupies 14.2% of the municipality, which is 12,568 hectares
The main types of woodland to be found in our municipality are twofold.
On the one hand, the most common and extensive pine forests are located mainly in the chain of mountains from Carrascoy to Escalona and the Los Cuadros.
The dominant species is the pine (Pinus halepensis).
The pine forest appears to be the dominant layer and in some cases almost exclusively, while also covered by soil as lastone species (Brachypodium retusum), herbaceous species that can form extensive meadows in these pine forests.
The understory is composed of Mastic (Pistacia lentiscus), Black Thorn (Rhamnus lycioides), Palmetto (Chamaerops humilis) etc.
The second, though less is represented in the municipal area is from the biogeographic point of view, very interesting.
This is the Kermes thermophilic located in the Sierras de Carrascoy and El Puerto.
The species name of this training is the Carrasca or Oak (Quercus rotundifolia) are the remains of vegetation that covered much of the Murcia region about 8,000 years ago.
Forest Park Municipal Majal Blanco has a wide representation of these holm, which you can visit some relict specimens of cork oak (Quercus suber), which are the only known indigenous species in the Region of Murcia and one of the few places the Southeast.
The forests of the municipality include areas of high environmental value, as the Site of Community Importance "Carrascoy and The Valley" or the Special Protection Area for Birds "Monte de El Valle, saws and Altaona Escalona," in which the City Murcia promotes the acquisition of land for sustainable management actions through a model of land stewardship.
This land, under the name of Forest Parks, are the municipal forest estate, and they develop various measures in favor of biodiversity and forests.
Currently, the Forest Park area is 2,365 hectares.
Some of these are Forest Parks: Majal Blanco (892 hectares), Los Porches (22.5 ha.), Los Ginovinos (119.5 ha), El Valle (27.2) etc.
Some of these areas are managed through a model of land stewardship, such as porches and Ginovinos, in which actions are developed for the conservation and wise use of natural resources and values, cultural landscape.
Recently management projects of these two farms have been awarded in the "Competition III projects for the enhancement of biodiversity" organized by the Ministry of Environment and Rural and Marine Affairs and the Spanish Federation of Municipalities and Provinces.
The functions of forests include the ability to absorb carbon dioxide (CO2), so that the maintenance and conservation of our forests will result in improved air quality and promote the ending balance of CO2 in the atmosphere.
