The Avinyonet de Puigventós City Council has authorized the "Esparver Cendrós" Hunters' Society to temporarily restrict access to municipal paths during a wild boar hunt on Sunday, October 4th, between 08:00 AM and 2:00 PM.

This measure is in response to the need to prevent crop damage and reduce the risk to vehicle traffic in the region, due to the high wild boar population. The hunt will focus on the areas of La Timba and Santa Eugènia.
According to the hunters' society's communication, at least two people will be required to signpost the affected paths, informing drivers and pedestrians about the situation, risks, and possible alternatives.
The hunt leader will be responsible for ensuring safety and compliance with current hunting regulations, including temporary signage and prior notification to residents affected by the access restriction.
To view the exact hunting area, a link to the detailed map of the affected zone has been provided.
