Branching out
whilst raising money for a good cause. Organisers were thrilled with the turnout and shared that they raised a total of €225.
Hayley Stout, from The Under Dog also wanted to highlight the plight of Podenco dogs in Spain, who often suffer from poor treatment, but are wonderful animals.
The Under Dog is already planning another raffle for a hamper with tickets set to be released in July, and a further dog walk in October when the weather cools down.
LOCAL environmental action group, Colectivo CreceT did their bit for the local area with a major tree planting day on Saturday, April 29, in the Periana and La Viñuela surroundings. Nature lovers gathered to plant around 200 trees.
The group launched their tree planting scheme to make an impact on the environment as part of the ‘La Gran Muralla Verde de Andalucia’ green wall project. The challenge was also a chance for the community to get involved and make a difference to their local area.
The environmental group’s enthusiastic organ isers also shared an update via Facebook explaining that around 70 per cent of the trees they planted last year have survived harsh environmental conditions and they are continuing to support their growth.
The group are also aiming to create muchneeded shade with their treeplanting projects for the comfort of walkers and wildlife in the region.
Gardeners enjoyed making new friends and refuelled with a delicious paella while helping the environment. More information is available via Facebook: www.facebook. com/colectivocreceT.
