minus-squareespentan@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up7arrow-down1·19 days agoIs this a cork plantation of sorts, and the trees planted for that purpose, or is it just people/businesses taking advantage of the local fauna?
minus-squareespentan@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·19 days agoThank you, and I was just curious really, if cork plantations are a thing, in Spain.
minus-squareblack0ut@pawb.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up4·19 days agoThey are, and many of them have existed for centuries. Most cork now is probably synthetic, but there are still some places where people harvest cork.
minus-squareQuilotoa@lemmy.caOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·19 days agoI didn’t seem like a plantation. We were hiking a trail and kept coming across them. Sometimes one, sometimes a bunch. I think they’re scattered throughout the forest and some people have rights to certain areas.
