LIFE Lugo + Biodinámico makes its Flora Catalog available to the public
The Flora Catalog of LIFE Lugo + Biodinámico is a resource created by the project to disclose all the species that have been planted and cataloged over the years through the different demonstration actions carried out in the area of action between the As Gándaras Industrial Estate and O Ceao.
