Several organizations established the Veus de les Muntanyes de Prades platform in Prades this March to protect agricultural and forestry interests during the creation of the new natural park.

The group is formed by key associations such as the Gremi de la Pagesia Catalana, BOSCAT, País Rural, and the Consorci Forestal de Catalunya. Their main goal is to ensure that farming and forest management remain central to the Prades Mountains, Poblet, and Serra de la Llena Natural Park.

"We have tried to shield agriculture, livestock, and forest management."

Eduard Escolà · Platform spokesperson
While the entity views the Government's latest proposal positively, which will be published in the DOGC this month, they are calling for increased involvement of private landowners in the park's management. The official presentation takes place this Friday in Prades.
