Contracting authority: Consejería de Medio Ambiente, Junta de Andalucía (Ministry of Environment, Andalusian Regional Government)

The mountains of the Sierra María-Los Vélez Natural Park are included in the grade B protection zone as a result of successive reforestation. One of the main actions of the forestry treatment contract in the Sierra de María-Los Vélez is the opening of the canopy through thinning to accelerate the natural development process of the stands and reduce the danger of forest fires. Pruning, brush clearance, tree felling, waste disposal by chipping and timber extraction by repairing the extraction routes are carried out.
