Robles de Santa Ana: Symbol to cope with the wild urbanism of the coast of Lapurdi

  • The neighbours of Santa Ana and Penditxenea have warned that 24 large oak trees are under threat in the construction of a number of local roads between Urruña and Ziburu. They have started collecting signatures to save the trees and protect the ecosystem, and have already received the support of over 1,600 people.

Santa Ana eta Penditxeneko nekazal bideak kostatik gertu geratzen diren "ederrenetakoak" direla diote hango haritzak salbatzeko kanpainaren sustatzaileek.

The life of 24 large “A-marked” rolls stumbles on the Santa Ana road between Urruña and Ziburu, which means that they will be cut down the heel – it is the beginning of the word in French abattage. According to the association Santa Ana-Penditxene, created by the neighbors, it is not clear why they want to massacre the trees, but it seems that the administration wants to urbanize these rural roads because in the future there are real estate projects.

Neighbours have launched a campaign in which 1,600 signatures have already been collected on the platform Change.org against the cutting of oak and for protecting the ecosystem. The association says that a natural heritage will be destroyed and that there are few routes near the coast.

Large robles have been marked with the letter "A", which means they will be massacred by the heel.

The issue of the salvation of the 24 Robles of Santa Ana has also become a symbol of the urban destruction suffered by the coast of Lapurdi: “It is essential to protect this beautiful place, as enough sacrifice has been made with A-63, Leclerc and the like,” explains the association on Facebook. Where are we going? On the Basque coast, construction decisions have to be reviewed... There are already enough homes, at least half of them are empty in three quarters of the year.”

They call on the municipalities of Urruña and Ziburu to become involved in their commitment to the environment.

For the farmer, gardening is only an impediment. A lot of today’s “advanced” farmers think so. In their work they don’t need orchards, chicken houses, apples or hives.
