A call to nature lovers from the World Wildlife Fund for volunteers in the reforestation of the Mijas mountains on Sunday, February 2. A fit and healthy day out in the Mijas countryside with scores of others, doing some good for the local environment and meeting like-minded local residents as they plant new trees. As many in the Mijas area will remember, a wildfire decimated 2,000 hectares of pristine forests in 2022.
Now much of the charred remains have been cleared, the World Wildlife Fund is seeking volunteers to help plant new seedlings and reforest this essential natural lung in the Sierra de Mijas.

Native species of trees and shrubs, including oaks, buckthorns, mastic trees, olive trees, and junipers, will be regrowing thanks to the work of more volunteers who are coming together on Sunday, February 2.
