The intervention on the Galego Spring has already begun

July 31, 2025

As part of sub-action C5.1 ‘Renaturalisation of Springs in the Municipality of Vila Franca do Campo using natural engineering’ of the LIFE IP CLIMAZ project, in which the municipality of Vila Franca do Campo is a partner, work has already begun on removing invasive species in the areas surrounding the Galego Spring. This action is fundamental to protecting the municipality’s water springs and aims to increase the availability and protection of water through nature-based solutions.

 

The E.RIO team developed the solutions, which SPEA Açores, a partner with experience in nature conservation and river and stream rehabilitation, is implementing. Vila Franca do Campo Town Council emphasises its commitment to preserving water resources and local biodiversity through this initiative.
