Sierra Escalona to Become a Protected Park After 30 Years of Campaigning

After 30 years of campaigning, the first formal move to make the Sierra Escalona a protected natural park has been put into motion, according to Julia Alvaro of Valencia’s environment department.

Speaking to municipal representatives and environmentalists from the local authority areas that the Sierra Escalona covers (Orihuela, San Miguel, and Pilar), Alvaro stated that it would take at least two years for the process to be completed.
