Sub-actions included:

• Internal capacity building

Staff training and capacity building to ensure an homogeneous management of all green-infrastructure areas and, thus, increase the impact of the project and sustainability of its results. The target audience for this sub-action focuses on CML employees responsible for areas that integrate green infrastructure and subcontractors.

• Biodiverse rainfed meadows: installation and maintenance;
• Water management: retention basins and monitoring systems for consumption;
• Vegetation control methods: mechanical and non-mechanical (sheep);
• Trees: planting, pruning, watering, etc.;
• Management of invasive alien species;
• Use of native species in urban green infrastructure.
