The team of laborers, chainsaw operators, and foremen from the 'Emplea Verde SBT' employment integration project has completed environmental restoration work on approximately 59,800 square meters by early June. During these efforts, nearly 48,575 kilos of plant waste have been managed and treated for composting.

This initiative, launched by the Local Development Department and led by deputy mayor Elena Álamo Vega, aims to provide seven months of employment and training to 16 unemployed individuals from the municipality facing integration challenges. The project is managed in collaboration with the Canarian Foundation for Reforestation (Foresta).

With a budget of 350,000 euros, co-financed 50% by the City Council and the Department of Institutional Cooperation and International Solidarity of the Gran Canaria Island Council through the Canary Islands Development Fund (Fdcan), the actions have focused on conditioning and environmentally improving sections of the GC-500 and GC-503 roads, as well as areas in Meloneras, Bahía Feliz, San Fernando, Parque del Sur, and the Cultural Center of Castillo del Romeral.

The interventions have included clearing spontaneous vegetation, pruning large trees and shrubs, cleaning, and removing plant waste, in addition to restoring and beautifying green spaces and maintaining irrigation systems. The plan also covers the management and conservation of trees in all Infant and Primary Education schools, three nursery schools, and Secondary Education centers within the municipality.
