Ponferrada is continuing its green transformation in 2025 through the Anillo Verde (Green Ring) project. This initiative focuses on renaturalizing urban and peri-urban spaces to enhance biodiversity and adapt to climate change.
The project aims to reconnect residents with nature by restoring green spaces with sustainability and accessibility in mind. The Anillo Verde seeks to improve the city's biodiversity and recover areas degraded by past land use, connecting urban green spaces with surrounding natural areas.
The Anillo Verde project, which began on July 1, 2022, is scheduled to conclude on December 31, 2025. Educational events and exhibitions continue to raise awareness about the project's goals for a healthier, more balanced city. The project includes the creation of 9 kilometers of bicycle lanes.
