"In these months we have worked tirelessly to return a renovated lake to visitors, from its dock, where ducks, turtles and fish, can have a new habitat," said the official. "Also, the first digital catalog of the Simpatt nursery was created, where around 120 thousand plants of various species are produced annually, since we are the main supplier and donor in the city for schools, communities, delegations and workshops," she added.
