Hola Inma,
Why do you use the infinitive endurecer insted of the sunjuctive? I thought both se empezara a and endurecer are attached to the Sería bueno que.
Muchas gracias!

Hola Ελισάβετ
You can of course continue the second sentence with the same structure:
y se endureciera....., because, as you said, it is a continuation of the first statement: Sería bueno que... We will add this option to that part.
We left it as an infinitive sentence because you could also have gone for a combination of the subjunctive in the first sentence and the infinitive in the second:
Sería bueno que se empezara a limpiar los montes
y [sería bueno] endurecer la ley.
We try to admit all possible interpretations whenever possible and when the English given is open to different options in Spanish.
Saludos
Inma
