The City Council of Alhama de Murcia has demonstrated its commitment to the conservation of natural heritage, both through the agreement signed with ACUDE for the management of three municipal estates (La Alcanara, Quebrada de Beatriz and Carrascoy Umbria), as with the performances developing in this area for the improvement of the ecosystem, especially through the recovery of native vegetation, the management of the pomegranate trees of this area of ​​the farm and the elimination of invasive alien species, such as gandul, morsana and some cacti.
In addition, this City Council has financed the conservation actions planned by ACUDE for this period, including planting for wildlife or the creation of a visual screen near the edge of the farm with the service road of the Mazarrón highway, to cushion the impact of vehicles on the natural space.
