The project's aim is to enlight the deep connection between agriculture and community: the way people engage themselves into agriculture can make a difference in their quality of life phisically and socially. Volunteers will also learn the opportunities and the difficulties that a mountain territory has. Legambiente Vallecamonica is trying to help local farmers and trying to sensibilise people on social and enviromental sustainable agriculture.
Lavoro
The volunteers' efforts are focused on managing an alpine refuge assisting a local onlus association by hosting pilgrims looking for shelter and meals. Volunteers will also help a farmer with his daily tasks, significantly easing his workload. Additionally, maintenance tasks are crucial and involve cleaning paths, roads, and green picnic areas, as well as refurbishing signage and fences where necessary. This comprehensive involvement offers volunteers a deep understanding and hands-on experience of farm life and mountian lifestyle activities.

Volunteers for the restoration of the dry stone walls-Tornareccio
The restoration of the ancient dry stone walls of Monte Pallano is a project that combines respect for tradition with the enhancement of the landscape and cultural heritage. Dry stone architecture has been recognized as UNESCO heritage since 2018. These walls, built without the use of mortar, are a testament to the ingenuity of the farmers and shepherds who once inhabited this land. They hold great historical significance: they were used to clear fields for cultivation, mark the paths traveled by flocks, and create terraces necessary for farming on steep terrain.
The restoration of these dry stone walls involves several phases: clearing vegetation, reconstructing the wall, and reinforcing the structures.
Lavoro
The restoration of the trail involves manual labor, with volunteers dedicating at least 6 hours a day, primarily during the early morning hours. Participants will assist Legambiente in restoring the dry stone walls that line the path of Lago Grande and the Cyclamen Trail. The project includes cleaning the trail, as well as reclaiming sections overrun by vegetation, which threaten the stability of the walls.
Luogo
The Monte Pallano area is enchantingly beautiful, rich in natural and archaeological wonders. Its strategic location and the presence of water sources have made it a hub of human settlement over the centuries, as evidenced by the remains of the ancient Pallanum settlement, the impressive Megalithic Walls, and signs of human presence from the Neolithic to the Hellenistic-Roman period. In more recent times, farmers and shepherds frequented Pallano and left traces of stone from their passage, altering the landscape. Tornareccio is a village famous for its open-air mosaic museum.
Traveling from Rome (Ciampino Airport, Fiumicino Airport, Tiburtina Bus Station): By bus: From Rome, you can travel from Tiburtina station directly to Tornareccio (tickets available at: https://clikbus.sotrap.it/home).
