The Barakaldo City Council has completed the planting of approximately 290 trees, both in tree pits along the streets and in various parks and gardens. This effort, carried out by the Municipal Services department, took place from December to March with the aim of replacing trees that were diseased or had been brought down by recent windstorms. The Usoa workshop for people with disabilities collaborated in these municipal gardening tasks.
Of the newly incorporated trees, 167 have been placed in tree pits on public roads, while the remaining 123 have been planted in landscaped areas. This action also addresses the need to replace trees that had to be removed for safety reasons.
Among the species planted are maples, Constantinople acacias, horse chestnuts, birches, beeches, hollies, Jupiter trees, laurels, Japanese privets, Virginia tulip trees, magnolias, wild apple trees, mulberries, plane trees, cherry trees, red plum trees, lindens, elms, holm oaks, oaks, and weeping willows, among many other varieties.
“"Trees not only beautify our streets and parks but are also fundamental for improving air quality, regulating temperature, and tackling climate change. Every new tree we plant is a direct investment in the health and well-being of our neighbors."
