Provincial council funds mountain improvements

MALLORCA Provincial Council has allocated €800,000 to help carry out agricultural and cultural heritage improvements in the Tramuntana Mountain Range.

Both private citizens and councils can request funding, which will be earmarked for maintaining natural sites and restoring elements of local heritage, as Unesco bestowed the title of ‘Cultural Landscape’ to the Tramuntana Mountains.

The aid programme was conceived to keep a dynamic space and increase the plots available for cultivation as well as restoring areas which are vital to preventing forest fires.

Each project will have a maximum budget of €20,000.
