🏢 About the local organisation
The Legambiente Geo A.P.S. association was born in Atessa in 1989 thanks to the enthusiasm and the care of a group of young volunteers. Since 30 years our association deals with the improvement of the environmental and cultural quality in our area in order to satisfy the need of participation, cohesiveness, knowledge and identity of people. During the last years we have fighted against waste trade, land consumption, for the Sangro river safeguard and the Val di Sangro evironmental quality. Thanks to our devouted and determined work, we set up the SIC Monte Pallano and Lecceta d\' Isca d\' Archi area. It is a place where environmental and archaeoligical excellences coexist. Legambiente, in this area, manages Casanatura Fontecampana center, a place where people of any age can meet each other and share their love for nature and environment and broaden their knowledges about them through various activities. Since 2017, tanks to volunteers, Legambiente runs the recycling center in Atessa.
💼 What the programme involves
The renewal of the route requires manual work. The volunteers will work for about 6 hours a day. The works will take place mainly in the early morning hours. Volunteers will help Legambiente to clean the path from Lago Grande to the megalithic walls of Monte Pallano. The planned interventions concern the arrangement and cleaning of the path and the recovery of some sections interrupted by vegetation. Along the way, new signs will be prepared to allow better use of the route
🏠 Accommodation on site
Volunteers will be housed in a former school building, with self-managed kitchen. There will be an eco-sustainable diet with local products and little meat. No wi-fi available.
📍 About the location
The area of Monte Pallano and Lecceta d'Isca d'Archi is full of charm, thanks to its natural and archaeological treasures. Its strategic position and the presence of water sources have favored the settlement of man in the area: as evidenced by the remains of the ancient Pallanum settlement, the imposing Megalithic Walls and the traces of human presence from the Paleolithic to the Neolithic up to to the Hellenistic-Roman period. In Tornareccio there is an outdoor mosaic museum.
