Description

The summit of Great Canary, the central sector of the Island, is crowned by the Beak(peak) of The Snow, placed to 1.949 meters on the level of the sea. For his(its) strategic central position and his(its) secular use, this space constitutes the place of confluence of the ways that communicate the slopes southern and north of Great Canary.

The uses of this territory have changed with the time. After the Conquest, given the energetic needs and of prime matters of the new society, the mounts were put in exploitation, being initiated the process of deforestation, which he(she) concluded with the putting in practice of the plan of vegetable(plant) regeneration that it(he,she) was establishing " Perimeter of Forest Obligatory Repopulation " in the year 1953. This took place(was produced) in a context of desagrarización progressive of the mediocrities and summit, and of increase of the demand(lawsuit) of spaces of leisure, the preeminence of the concept desarrollista of the political authorities of the epoch, which warned the narrow relation between(among) the woodland and the water resources, in a moment in which the putting in exploitation of wide surfaces of the coastal terrazgo was translated in the massive opening of wells, with the consequence of the intensive decrease of the groundwater level of the Island.

The way goes on materials Roque Nublo, with the exception of the Plains of The Pitch, shaped by rocks Post-Roque Nublo. The climate presents features of continentalidad, with strong thermal diurnal and annual extent, occasional snowfalls in winter and rainfalls concerning(around) all 600 mm. Annual.

The vegetation ensues from the interaction of the physical environmental factors and from the important one antropización up to the decade of the sixties. At present, after the ambitious labor of the Chapter and ICONA, a wide portion of the surface cumbrera appears cover of Canary pine.
