El Planter

The nursery at Gerri was created in the year 1906 to cultivate trees for reforestation of the Enseu gorge, in order to correct its water and forestry features. The lack of plant coverage in the catchment area and therefore the negligible capacity for intercepting and retaining rainfall was one of the causes of the sudden and serious flood of 1903.

The reforestation of the basin ended in 1950, but the nursery continued supplying trees for diverse repopulations in the district until the end of the 1990s.
