🏢 About the local organisation
Vivere la Montagna is an organisation established in 2012 with the scope of promoting, developing and enhancing the territory in its cultural, touristic, economical, environmental, and social-life aspects in the local highlands.
On the local Alps, 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 ordinary and extraordinary clearing of the area and maintenance.
💼 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 them springs. Among the main activities involved, 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.
