ACCIONA has been selected by Vigo City Council to maintain the city’s green spaces. The five year contract is worth €34 million.

ACCIONA will be responsible for three million square metres, to which it will apply sustainable gardening practices aimed at reducing chemical pest control products as much as possible and replacing them with non-polluting biological control systems.

It will also carry out a detailed environmental study to make improvements to the aquatic and wetland environments, as well as designing and renovating the interpretative displays along the River Lagares ornithological route.

ACCIONA will also create a program to increase, counterbalance and improve biodiversity in the area with actions focused on boosting, protecting and preserving the fauna, flora and ecosystems. Furthermore, ACCIONA has offered to carry out a specific study on bats and night-time birds as part of stabilising the ecosystem.
