Owners of forest properties affected by the Les Gavarres fire met yesterday at the Teatre Mundial in La Bisbal d’Empordà to review the fire's impact and discuss a joint management proposal.

The informational session, co-organized by several local town councils, the Association of Forest Managers of Les Gavarres, and the Consorci de les Gavarres, presented technical recommendations for managing burnt forests. The main objective was to gather support for a joint management proposal aimed at coordinating recovery efforts for the affected areas.
The fire, which occurred last July, significantly impacted the region's forests. The meeting served to analyze the fire's consequences and outline the technical strategies needed for the recovery of these natural spaces.
The joint management proposal, promoted by the Association of Forest Managers of Les Gavarres with the support of the Generalitat de Catalunya and the Consorci de les Gavarres, aims to establish a collaborative framework among forest owners, public administrations, and sector professionals. This is considered key to advancing the forest recovery process in the coming years.
The event was attended by forest engineers from the Generalitat responsible for the region, as well as representatives from the town councils of Cruïlles, Monells i Sant Sadurní de l’Heura, La Bisbal d’Empordà, Calonge i Sant Antoni, and Santa Cristina d’Aro.
