| The planned actions consist of forestry works in the public forest of Las Rueldas and the repair of rural roads in La Canaleja, Salmartina, Hoya Redonda and Hoya de los Hermanos | The counselor Antonio Luengo visits the carnation and chrysanthemum greenhouses of the CanaraFlor Producers Cooperative The Minister for Water, Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and the Environment, Antonio Luengo, met today in Cehegín with the mayor of the town, Alicia del Amor, to review a series of actions that his Department plans to carry out in the next months in the municipality for an amount close to 1.2 million euros. Luengo highlighted what these investments represent "both for the care of the environment and for the quality of life and safety of the inhabitants of Cehegín, so they will be extremely productive." Thus, in the last quarter of the year, silvicultural treatments will be contracted to improve forest systems in the public forest of Las Rueldas, which represents an investment of around 500,000 euros and affects an area of ??around 900 hectares.
All of this "with the aim of improving the care and protection of the mountains, the use of their resources and the prevention of fires in the area," he explained. On the other hand, the Community plans to soon undertake various actions in the field of repairing rural roads.
In the first place, it is pending authorizations for the planned action on the La Canaleja rural road, which is expected to be sent for contracting at the end of the year, with a budget of 250,000 euros.
This connects the urban center of Cehegín with the district of El Chaparral and runs through numerous agricultural and livestock farms.
Likewise, the Governing Council recently approved the tender for the Salmartina roads (822 meters) and Hoya Redonda (776 meters long) for a value between them of 260,000 euros. Some works to which will be added the repair of the Camino de la Hoya de los Hermanos, more than 3,000 meters long, and for an amount of 171,000 euros, which has recently been selected in the third call for the repair of rural roads and whose project will be written in the coming months. New storm tank Minister Luengo also referred to the work carried out during this year in the municipality such as the storm tank, which has had an investment of more than 375,000 euros and has allowed the conditioning of the aerobic sludge digester, an action that ended last month of May. A work that has made it possible to use the old stabilization tanks as a storm tank and flow regulation tank, "taking advantage of existing resources to avoid relief, so there is more water available to treat and reuse it," explained the head of Water.
In addition, "it allows to pre-purify the water, since it retains the pollutant load of the first water drags, which represents an environmental improvement that corresponds to the commitment of the regional government for the care of the natural environment". Visit to CanaraFlor Antonio Luengo visited the carnation and chrysanthemum greenhouses of the CanaraFlor Producers Cooperative, located in the municipality and which currently has more than 60 members, dedicated to the production and wholesale of cut flowers.
Among the varieties that stand out is the production of 24.3 million carnations and 2.1 million chrysanthemums. "The Region of Murcia has a powerful sector for the production and sale of cut flowers and pot plants, and municipalities such as Cehegín are a clear example of their commitment to innovation and the development of technology to find new, more resistant varieties , of better quality and with greater possibilities in the national and international market ", specified the counselor. "We are facing a great opportunity to become a benchmark in the field of research and training in the cut flower sector in our country, and that is why we will continue to work together to find ways of collaboration that allow it," he concluded.
