NATURE OF BIODIVERSITY VILLAGE

Exhibits and Workshops, 13 October, 14 October, 15 October

A space for the knowledge of Biodiversity through sensory activities and nature discovery. It will also be possible to observe the activities of the Arma forces. The “saddle baptism”: a small handling, delimitated by hay bales with four little horses from Monterufoli. Workshop to discover the lesser-known natural food: “the woods on the table”, fruit, berries and herbs in the kitchen. Effects and causes of the soil erosion, besides some methods to hinder it. Forest fires: a path through burnt trees to come back healthy, scented and colourful in the woods. A tactile and fact-finding path to know more about the forest vegetation of the Appennini. Wildlife: it will be possible to observe endangered species and to discover some interesting facts on these animals’ habits. Branches, leaves, bark and other natural evidences will be transformed either in simple objects or artworks: to become familiar with nature can’t be more creative. A meeting with little mammals and saved animals from the Wildlife Recovery Center in Formichella: what to do in case of finding?
