🏢 About the local organisation
“Vivere la Montagna” is a nonprofit and non political organization, established in 2012 with the scope of promoting, developing and enhancing the territory's on cultural, touristic, economical, environmental, and sociallife elements in the local highlands (including, but not limited to, the natural Parc of “Monti Tre Denti – Freidour”). On the local territory, there are a relevant number of small natural water springs which issue a very good quality water and they form a delicate and pleasant punctuation, dislocated in the highland territory. In order to be able to be appreciated, the springs require clearing of the area and a level of maintenance, both, ordinary and extraordinary.
💼 What the programme involves
Part of the main project that entwines, on different levels, cultural and touristic elements, is to bring back the springs to a decent level of useful pleasantness. This will be achieved by ordinary and extraordinary maintenance activities, both, on the springs themselves and on woodland tracks and pathways to reach the springs. Among the main activities, aside the clearing and refurbishing of the actual spring base areas, there are some small naturalistic engineering works to be done and some clearing of woodland areas, by means of removal of excess vegetation. In order to reestablish a good condition of the natural water springs, clearing the spring area and rebuild stone wall small sumps, it is also required to perform some maintenance of pathways and forest trails.
