Neighbors of the Hermitage of Burgos have contacted the association for the felling of an olmeda in the Road of the Blacksmiths, that also underwent a fire last year.

The association fears that the next swamps will once again destroy riparian vegetation in the ditches of the Huerta de Murcia.

The complaint has been filed before the SEPRONA of the Civil Guard and the Environmental Service of the City of Murcia.

The Association for the Conservation of the Orchard of Murcia has had knowledge of another new felling of protected large trees in the Huerta de Murcia.

This time, it is the logging of elms in the Hermitage of Burgos, in the area of ​​the Way of the Blacksmiths, whose neighbors contacted this association to spread the news ..

This felling adds to the numerous already denounced last year both in this inheritance of the Alquibla (south ditches) and those made in the inheritance of the Aljufía (north ditches).

The felling of this interesting olmeda is a new loss for the landscape suffered by the Huerta de Murcia and for the conservation of its biodiversity, as these protected trees also help to maintain the fauna that inhabits the Huerta de Murcia.

The logging has been brought to the attention of the Nature Protection Service of the Civil Guard, as well as the Environmental Service of the City of Murcia, so that both entities carry out all necessary actions to clarify these facts as well as to clarify the responsibilities That could lead to these facts.

For HUERMUR, to continue talking about a "Plan de la Huerta", while the rivers continue to be destroyed and the biodiversity of our ditches is destroyed, it is to hide from Murcia what is still happening in La Huerta, which is "the systematic destruction of a millennial landscape Before the local and regional administrative inaction ".

The area of ​​the olmeda, in the surroundings of the Hermitage of Burgos, suffered a fire a few months ago, as can be observed in the remaining specimens as well as in the logs cut, but many of the elms could be saved, some with a Great trunk, but they have finally succumbed with this logging done in recent dates ..

The association will demand the replanting of specimens of the same species from which they have been felled, and that no buildings or new works will be allowed in the devastated areas, since "the traditional landscape of the Huerta de Murcia and Recover this olmeda and the others that have been razed.
