| This year the Alba-Ter Consortium, together with the councils of Bescanó, Sant Gregori, Salt, Girona and Jafre, has launched the European Life + Nature Project "Recovery of riparian habitats on the Ter river (Riparia-Ter)". The main objective of this project is the recovery of the riverside forest, particularly alluvial forests of alder (Alnus glutinosa) (Habitat 91E0*), white willow (Salix alba) and white poplar (Populus alba) (Habitat 92A0) and temporary Mediterranean ponds (Habitat 3170*). Another objective of the project is the management and control of access to the target sites to prevent deterioration of these ecosystems as a result of excessive human use, above all in suburban areas. It aims to introduce the importance of natural resources for obtaining a sustainable management compatible with the conservation of natural areas. Riparia-Ter is being developed in the Natura 2000 Network Riberes del Baix Ter (ES5120011) area between 2010 and 2013, focusing on four zones: "L´Illa de la Pilastra" (Bescanó-Sant Gregori-Salt), "Les Deveses i hortes" (Salt-Girona), "L´Illa del Ter" in Pedret and "El Bosc de Can Salvatella" (Girona) and "L´Illa d´Avall" (Jafre) and covering a surface area of approximately 140 hectares. Investment in the project amounts to €929,100, half of which is financed by the European Union (EU) and the remainder by the Alba-Ter Consortium, the councils of Bescanó, Salt and Girona, the Provincial Government of Girona and La Caixa´s Social Project Fund. |
