🏢 About the local organisation
Legambiente Dora Baltea local group takes its name from Dora Baltea river that flows through the AMI. Our activities are focused on safeguarding the Morenic Amphitheatre of Ivrea area, either monitoring new industrial settlements or maintaining the natural balance thanks to volunteers activities. We also partecipate to national campaigns such as “Cleaning the World” and “Alps Caravanning”. We cooperate with other local clubs engaged in similar activities and involving specifically young people.
