This initiative is part of the ongoing maintenance and improvement tasks for the municipal tree stock, which the local government aims to supplement with new plantings in the coming months. The work will be carried out by Tegar, the entity responsible for maintaining municipal gardens and green spaces, and will include various species such as holm oaks, stone pines, lindens, Japanese cherries, jacarandas, mulberries, and eucalyptus.
The plantings will be distributed across different neighborhoods and urbanizations, including streets like Rafael Casanova, Sant Antoni, Anselm Clavé, and Sebastià Puig i Miró, as well as squares such as Melcior Güell and Anxaneta. Trees will also be planted in green areas like Prat Park, the plot on Amadeu Vives, and the vicinity of the C-31, along with locations in urbanizations such as Dàlia street in Mas Trader.
The Councilor for Public Space and Infrastructure, Josep Maria Hugué, highlighted the priority of increasing tree cover due to its fundamental role in adapting streets and public spaces to climate change and reducing urban heat. "Generating more shaded areas is essential to reduce the sensation of heat and help lower the temperature of urban spaces," he remarked.
Hugué also pointed out that the aim is not only to replace lost trees but also to continue expanding the tree stock in Cubelles, particularly in areas where more shade is needed to improve citizen comfort. The City Council plans to implement further tree planting initiatives beyond the current replacement efforts to expand wooded areas and foster more comfortable public spaces in response to rising temperatures.
