Corredor Biologico Rio Torres
Corredor Biologico Rio Torres
Lanzamiento Proyecto Colaborativo del sector público, privado y ciudadanía organizada

¡Hoy queremos contarles una muy buena noticia!  Iniciamos el proceso de mejoramiento ambiental y reforestación de un tramo del Corredor Biológico Interurbano del Río Torres, gracias a la ayuda del Fondo Ciudad Verde.

El proyecto está orientado a hacer un reemplazo del zacate elefante, una especie invasora que no permite crecer el bosque nativo a orillas del río.

Este proyecto también cuenta con el apoyo de la Municipalidad de San José y la Compañía Nacional de Fuerza y Luz con su conocimiento técnico y especies para la reforestación.

RC Inmobiliaria and Garnier & Garnier, from the private sector, are also allies in this forest recovery effort in this corridor.

Estaremos actualizando sobre avances, oportunidades de vinculación y aprendizajes que queremos dejar para que esto sea la primera de muchas oportunidades de regeneración de nuestros ríos.

Private-Public and Citizen Collaboration Project

Today we want to tell you very good news! We started a process of environmental improvement and reforestation of Corredor Biológico Interurbano del Río Torres, thanks to the help of the Fondo Ciudad Verde.

The project is aimed at replacing the “elephant grass”, an invasive species that inhibited native species’ growth in urban riverbanks.

This project also has the support of the Municipalidad de San José and Compañía Nacional de Fuerza y Luz with the technical and material support.

In addition, two private companies are allies in this forest recovery effort: RC Inmobiliaria and Garnier & Garnier.

We will be updating on progress, networking opportunities, and learnings that we want to share for the regeneration of our rivers.
