Further improvements have been carried out in the Arboretum. They include; the restoration of a dry stone wall, planting mediterranean plants, labeling of plants for identification and the creation of an interpretive panel and map guide to the Arboretum.
The restoration of the dry stone wall, in collaboration with the department of Bioconstruction, primarily aimed to prevent erosion of land adjoining the upper terraces and in turn prepare the ground for later planting seeds. The planting of herbaceous species, shrubs and mediterranean trees had the objective of continuing the species (kermes oak, cork oak, holly oak, wild olive, mastic, etc.) already present located along the edge of the plot.
The creation of an interpretive panel and map guide informs residents and visitors about the work of the department focused on the regeneration of vegetation cover within the “Paraje Natural Karst en Yesos de Sorbas”.
The labeling of plants allows visitors to learn about the identification of both mediterranean and exotic plants adapted to semiarid climates.
