Tree species like Strawberry tree, Judas tree, Laurel, Olive, Aleppo pine, Holm oak, Cork oak, Elm, Field maple will be sent together with shrubs including Shrubby thyme, Sage, Rosemary and Myrtle to degraded landscapes near coastal areas and surrounding hills still influenced by the marine climate.
