The Municipality of Concordia, through the Directorate of Parks and Gardens, is carrying out maintenance and environmental recovery work in the San Carlos Park sector, adjacent to Belgrano Street.
In this context, control and removal of invasive exotic plant species is being carried out, mainly giant reed (Arundo donax), as well as specimens of mulberry (Morus alba), castor bean (Ricinus communis), and other species that, over time, have advanced into this sector, displacing native vegetation and altering the environmental conditions of this space of high landscape and ecological value.
Given that the use of agrochemicals for this type of intervention is not permitted in the city's public spaces, the only technically viable method to achieve effective control is mechanical extraction using heavy machinery, which allows for the removal of roots and rhizomes and prevents the rapid regrowth of these species.
The use of this machinery generates temporary inconvenience, especially due to the noise it causes, but it is essential to carry out an effective and lasting intervention.
Furthermore, it is reported that the trunks observed in the sector correspond to an ibirapitá specimen that fell a few months ago and had to be removed at this stage to allow for the completion of the sanitation tasks in the intervened area.
Likewise, this work instance was used to carry out cleaning and maintenance tasks on the small lake located next to this sector, removing accumulated sediments and plant material. During these tasks, the necessary precautions were taken to preserve the integrity of the turtles and other fauna that habitually inhabit this space.
These actions are part of the permanent work of recovery, conservation, and improvement of San Carlos Park, seeking to preserve one of the most valuable natural and historical spaces in Concordia.
