Rincón de la Victoria town hall is inviting the public to participate in a tree planting initiative this Saturday, 25 January, to coincide with Spain's environmental education day.

The town's Environment councillor, Sergio Diaz, announced the event on Tuesday and said that they hoped to plant 200 trees, including carob, holm oak and olive, all of which are native to the Axarquía.

Mayor of Rincón, Francisco Salado, said that this would be the first of a number of events to be organised throughout the year. Saturday's tree planting will start at 10am in the Calle Bahamas area of Añoreta Golf.
