The Director General of Planning and Forest Management, Luisa Piñeiro, visited today the public utility forest of Salgueiras, in the municipality of Pontecesures, where forestry actions with environmental objectives are being developed.

The work consists of carrying out clearing and pruning in a mass of deciduous broadleaf trees, mainly composed of oaks and birches. Additionally, work has been done on auxiliary track strips with the aim of promoting the natural regeneration of these trees.
These interventions are part of the plan for the development of forestry actions that the Ministry of Rural Affairs is carrying out in the autonomous community.
