Francos Junction (Rede de Biospots)

The Francos junction, one of the busiest on the VCI, has a vital forest to mitigate climate impacts and capture carbon. 1,079 native trees and shrubs of 20 species were planted, such as hawthorn, hazel and strawberry trees, produced with the support of volunteers from the Municipal Nursery.

Ribeira da Granja

The Ribeira da Granja has been restored using natural solutions: in Viso (2010), natural engineering techniques stabilized the banks; in Quinta do Rio (2011) and SACHE (2014), de-tubing promoted re-naturalization; Ramalde do Meio (2013), re-qualification allowed connection to the city; Requesende (2013), re-qualification promoted environmental preservation.
