The councils of Environment and Promotion of the City council of Orihuela have agreed to eradicate the annoying “ Arizona Cactus ” that has been propagating itself for ten years on the mountain range of Orihuela.

They've already removed and incinerated 3,000 kilos of this weed. The works will continue to try to rid the area of this species which destroys the natural fauna and the vegetation.

400,000 Euros has been budgeted for a new program to completely eradicate this plague during 2009.

The workers will be divided into three groups of eight, one of which will be made up of climbing specialists to tackle the hard to reach locations and another one will be a team of municipal technicians.
