Galician Landowners Demand Action Against Logging Road Damage

Residents of Camarinas, a town in Galicia, Spain, are voicing concerns over the damage to forest roads caused by logging activities. The Association of A Croa landowners has reported that heavy machinery is destroying the infrastructure. "The logging trucks are tearing up the roads," said one resident. Alejandro Álvarez, a forestry engineer with the association, proposes a solution: a municipal ordinance to regulate road use by logging companies. This ordinance would promote sustainable forestry and might require companies to make deposits to cover any road repairs. The hope is that this will lead to better management of the forests and improved infrastructure.
