A large group of FCC employees and their
family members, including many children,
collaborated with WWF-Spain in the se-
cond edition of the reforestation campaign
which the Group celebrates as part of the
framework agreement with this well-known
international environmental organization.
It achieved the objective of planting nearly
300 new trees at the Southeast Regional
Park in Madrid.
Situated around the lower beds of the He-
nares, Manzanares, Tajuna, and Jarama
rivers, this natural park, spreading over an
area of 31,550 hectares and surrounding
territories belongs to 16 townships in the
Madrid Autonomous Community.
The park’s location is quite special since it
is surrounded by urban centres, industrial
parks, and is very close to the capital, Ma-
drid. Thanks to its orographic features, the
park is the home to steppe birds such as
royal owls and peregrine falcons.
The FCC Group took more than forty-three
volunteers, including family members and
friends of workers at the Citizen Services
Group, to an area known as Soto de las
Juntas.
For over thirty years, there was a mining
operation in this area and in 1998; the area
was acquired by the Madrid Community
with the intention of taking restoration mea-
sures, recovering the ecological processes
and functions, and preventing the loss of
vegetation and rich productive soil.
The activities carried out during this event
including removing dry plants, thinning and
clearing work, the reconstruction of the
basins and the replacement of protective
items.
