The Town Hall of El Boalo, Cerceda and Mataelpino begins on September 15 the municipal campaign for treatment against the pine processionary caterpillar, which will run until December 18. Registrations are already open for residents, with discounted prices.
The Town Hall of El Boalo, Cerceda and Mataelpino has launched a new edition of the municipal campaign for the treatment and control of the pine processionary caterpillar, aiming to keep the trees healthy and ensure safety in the environment. The initiative will take place between September 15 and December 18, 2026.
The method to be applied is plant endotherapy, a technique that involves injecting the treatment directly into the trunk of the tree. According to the council, this practice allows for combating the pest without the need for aerial spraying and with less impact on the surrounding environment.
Residents of the municipality can now register for the campaign. The Town Hall has established special discounted prices for residents who join the initiative. For information or to formalise registration, interested parties can write to cpalacios@athisa.es or visit the website athisa.es.
Healthy pines, safer environments. We care for the forests of tomorrow today,” states the Town Hall of El Boalo in the campaign presentation.
The campaign is part of the usual municipal actions for the care of trees and the prevention of risks associated with this pest, which particularly affects pines during the autumn and winter months. The registration period remains open until the end of the campaign, on December 18.
