INTRODUCCIÓN El Parque Natural de Majona se localiza en el sector nororiental de la Isla de La Gomera, siendo la línea de costa su límite septentrional y las laderas orientales del barranco de Hermigua su límite occidental; por el sur alcanza al Parque Nacional de Garajonay y la cabecerea de Aguajilva, discurriendo en paralelo al trazado de la carretera Tf-711, el flanco oriental de su límite discurre por la divisoria de desde La Guerode hasta Cuevas Blancas donde alcanza la costa acantilada. Comprende 1757,1 Ha., lo que representa el 4,7 % de la superficie insular, y se reparte entre los términos municipales de San Sebastián de La Gomera, que con un 11,25% del término incluye el 73% del Parque, y de Hermigua, que con un 12,08% del término municipal, aporta el 27% restante de la superficie del Parque de Majona. El Parque incluye un territorio agreste surcado por los grandes barrancos de Majona y Juel, y la pequeña cuenca de Taguluche, separados por interfluvios prominentes labrados sobre materiales basálticos antiguos. Presenta, asimismo, una gran variedad de hábitats, con cardonales y tabaibales en la costa, e interesantes formaciones de Monteverde en las cumbres. Buena parte de las medianías están ocupadas por pinares de repoblación, con restos dispersos de vegetación termófila. La presencia de interesantes especies amenazadas, como el cardoncillo, Ceropegia dichotoma krainzii, la bea, Aeonium gomerense, o dos especies de tabaiba (Euphorbia bravoana y E. lambii), o el hecho de ser las cumbres de Majona la localidad clásica, en Canarias, de una bella mariposa trópico-africana (Danaus chrysippus), contribuyen a incrementar el valor este espacio protegido. Además, el área protegida comprende algunos grupos de viviendas tradicionales aisladas, como los de Taguluche, Juel o Enchereda, testimonios de poblamiento del pasado a los que está vinculado el escaso aprovechamiento agrícola existente y el pastoreo que aún se practica que guarda relación con áreas adyacentes al parque como El Palmar, al Oeste, y Cuevas Blancas al Este. La zona media-alta de los diferentes barrancos que conforman el ámbito del Parque de Majona está recorrida por una pista que parte de la carretera de San Sebastián a Hermigua, y que llega hasta El Palmar, pasando por Enchereda. Esta pista tiene una ramificación que da acceso al valle de Taguluche, al norte del Parque. Este espacio fue declarado por la Ley 12/1987 del 19 de Junio de Declaración de Espacios Naturales de Canarias, como Parque Natural y reclasificado con la misma categoría por la Ley 12/1994 del 19 de Diciembre, de Espacios Naturales de Canarias. Con esta última ley, el Parque quedó incluido en la Red Canaria de Espacios Naturales, con el código G-3. Posteriormente y tras el establecimiento del marco normativo actual sus límites se encuentran descritos literal y cartográficamente en el Anexo del Decreto Legislativo 1/2000, de 8 de Plan Rector de Uso y Gestión Documento Informativo 1 PARQUE NATURAL DE Documento de 2010 MAJONA Aprobación Definitiva mayo, por el que se aprueba el Texto Refundido de la Ley de Ordenación del Territorio de Canarias y de Espacios Naturales. Todo el ámbito del Parque Natural se considera Área de Sensibilidad Ecológica, a efectos de lo indicado en la Ley 11/1990 de 13 de Julio, de Prevención de Impacto Ecológico. A esto se añade la consideración reciente de Zona Especial de Conservación que posee todo el ámbito y, además, ha sido declarada como

  • The Canary Islands
    The Canary Islands Dragon Trees & Blue Chaffinches A Greentours Tour Report 7th – 16th February 2014 Leader Başak Gardner Day 1 07.02.2014 To El Patio via Guia de Isora I met the half of the group at the airport just before midday and headed towards El Guincho where our lovely hotel located. We took the semi coastal road up seeing the xerophytic scrub gradually changing to thermophile woodland and then turned towards El Teide mountain into evergreen tree zone where the main tree was Pinus canariensis. Finally found a suitable place to stop and then walked into forest to see our rare orchid, Himantoglossum metlesicsiana. There it was standing on its own in perfect condition. We took as many pics as possible and had our picnic there as well. We returned to the main road and not long after we stopped by the road side spotting several flowering Aeonium holochrysum. It was a very good stop to have a feeling of typical Canary Islands flora. We encountered plants like Euphorbia broussonetii and canariensis, Kleinia neriifolia, Argyranthemum gracile, Aeonium urbicum, Lavandula canariensis, Sonchus canariensis, Rumex lunaria and Rubia fruticosa. Driving through the windy roads we finally came to Icod De Los Vinos to see the oldest Dragon Tree. They made a little garden of native plants with some labels on and the huge old Dragon Tree in the middle. After spending some time looking at the plants that we will see in natural habitats in the following days we drove to our hotel only five minutes away. The hotel has an impressive drive that you can see the huge area of banana plantations around it.

Their isolation has given rise to many endemic species and subspecies, of which the great views of Tenerife Blue Chaffinch in perfect light were a highlight for many. We marvelled over the flora, so different to that of mainland Europe, and enjoyed the various species of lizards, plus the butterflies and other invertebrates we encountered. The day on La Gomera was a delight, not least for the numbers of Cory’s Shearwaters, whales and dolphins, plus the White-faced Storm Petrels we encountered. Lovely weather with plenty of sunshine, comfortable accommodation, good food and great company all made for an excellent week. Day 1 Saturday 23rd February Fly to Tenerife South – La Chafiras – Road to Vilaflor Fifteen tour group members met with Andrew and Jessica at Gatwick’s North Terminal for the 6.50am Easyjet flight to Tenerife South Airport. After a bit of a delay due to fog at Gatwick, we landed on the island at around 12.15pm, meeting up with our last group member, who had arrived on the island the previous day.

A quick lunch was served and then we were able to start the trip with an introductory visit to the Mirador de Lagrimona on the north coast of the island. Soon after our arrival at the location we were watching a perched Laurel Pigeon in one of the taller trees in front of the rock face and were able to see clearly the broad white terminal band on the tail and the white tip to the bill - both features being confined to and diagnostic of this endemic pigeon. Also a few of us were treated to some brief views of the endemic Canary Island Robin, there were a couple of the endemic Canary Island Chiffchaffs that showed well, two Canary Blue Tits flew past and there was a singing male Atlantic Canary.

After a hearty breakfast, we set off for Los Silos, parking in the town square, by a splendid modern art sculpture of Canarina canariensis made from waste metal, which we were aiming to see later on our walk. We started our uphill walk from Los Silos which is 5.7 km if you reach Erjos, where there are caves (Cuevas Negas), which we didn’t get to by a long way. Plenty of stops were taken for photos and a rest.

    RORAIMA NURSERY Newsletter No. 15 20 Swan Street Lara Vic 3212 Autumn 2015 Ph: 03 5282 8704 Email: [email protected] Website: www.roraimanursery.com.au Happy Easter from the Staff and Management of Roraima Nursery. We will be closed on Good Friday, and trading as normal from 9am till 5pm on all other days of the Easter Holidays. RORAIMA PLANT PROFILE Strelitzia juncea Native to South Africa is this architectural plant that becomes a striking feature in any garden or large pot. It is slow growing in its early age, but as it matures, seems to speed up its growth. It has a similar flower to Strelitzia reginae, but its foliage is completely different. It has striking rush-like foliage with a narrow leaf blade at the top compared with the much larger leaf of S. reginae. Strelitzia juncea generally takes 3-4 years to flower. Once that age, with adequate watering and feeding, it should flower each year. The flower of Strelitzia juncea appears below the level of the highest leaf tips as opposed to S. reginae where the flower is above the leaf tips. Pictured to the right is a 4 year old Strelitzia juncea in Roraima’s developing display gardens. Below left is a Strelitzia juncea that is at least 70+ years old that has been growing at St Marys Church, Geelong, displaying its massive form, 2m height, texture and vibrant flowers for years. Thanks to St Marys staff for allowing this image to be taken. Preferring well- drained rich soil and full sun/part shade, it is a very easy plant to maintain.

    The Canary Islands Dragon Trees & Blue Chaffinches A Greentours Tour Report 3rd - 12th February 2018 Leaders: Ian Bennallick and Phil Benstead Friday 2nd February 2018 – Ian to El Patio Ian arrived from Exeter to a sunny and warm southern part of the island and managed to sort ferry tickets but not shopping for the picnics as everywhere closed for a saint’s day. Tenerife had been experiencing stormy weather for a few days which had dumped a lot of snow on Mt Teide, so much that roads up to it were closed. Arriving at El Patio near Garachico on the north coast in the evening, Ian had a delicious dinner in Garachico at Casa Gaspar. Day 0 - Saturday 3rd February 2018 – The group to El Patio With much better weather forecast, Ian picked up Robert and Laura, Peter and Ruth from the airport at lunchtime and soon were driving north. With a couple of hours to explore Ian drove up the road to Mt Teide to check if the endemic and localised orchid Himantoglossum metlesicianum was flowering. Everything looked a bit behind flower wise, and the Canary Island Pine (Pinus canariensis) forest was looking dry. Some Almond (Prunus dulcis) trees were in bloom but the Aeonium spp. were not flowering as they had in 2017. Remembering the pull-in to stop, Ian carefully walked down the slope from the road but could only find leaves of the orchids. Carrying on to EL Patio, Ian had contacted Phil who was picking up Jonathan, Jean and Brian, and confirmed that they were on the way from the airport.
