The Parks and Gardens Service, which is part of the Department of Modernization of Administration, Urban Quality and Participation, led by José Guillén, has begun pruning more than 20,000 moreras located in Murcia and districts.

This task is necessary so that the specimens look perfect before the end of the year and seeks to avoid falling fruits as well as reduce the fall leaves in autumn that cause discomfort to the pedestrians.

In total, these works are being carried out, which will run until the middle of December, five teams of seven people each.

Likewise, these pruning seek to reduce the annoyances that could be given to buildings or vehicles and thus achieve a better integration of nature in the day to day of the Murcia.

The first of the actions to be carried out is the terciado of the alignments of specimens and walks, after which pruning will be made for training and maintenance to the remaining units located inside the different parks of Murcia capital and districts.

In addition, the council continues to bet on the biological cycle of life, which allows many of the branches to be pruned to be crushed and their remains are spread as a 'green' fertilizer and at no cost in green areas that they need it.

Thanks to the biotrituradoras of the service it is possible to close the so-called ecological cycle since the branches of the trees that are cut in the programmed prunings will be crushed with this new machine that will allow to reutilizar the residues to improve and to beautify the conditions of the ground where it is deposited.

Councilor José Guillén has listed some of its many benefits as "the reuse of waste to improve soil conditions in which to deposit and reduce the volume of material that works."

In addition, by depositing these shredded limbs of branches in some areas an improvement of the retention of the humidity as well as of the structure of the plant itself is achieved, reducing in this way the consumption of irrigation water.

There is also a reduction of the displacements made to authorized landfills, as the volume of the remains decreases when grinding.
