  • Description

    Description

    The association manages a vast mountainous area (70 ha), subject to phenomena of depletion and abandonment linked to rural exodus. In the year 2021, 70% of its territory was affected by the terrible fire that devastated the forest heritage of one of the main green lungs of the island. The activity of the association was mainly aimed at combating the risk of erosion and at long-term planning in order to prevent such a catastrophe from reproducing.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    The association has a large mountain refuge, powered by photovoltaic panels. We can accommodate a dozen people inside during the winter. As for the summer period, we prefer accommodation in a tent / community tent, made available by our association. The kitchen is community and collective meals: the volunteers will take turns preparing them: since our community is inspired by a model of energy self-sufficiency, the kitchen and the heating, the boiler in the shower use wood (coming from the woods we manage in a sustainable way).

    L’ associazione dispone di un ampio rifugio montano,alimentato da pannelli fotovoltaici . Possiamo ospitare al suo interno una decina di persone durante il periodo invernale. Per quanto riguarda il periodo estivo , preferiamo la sistemazione in tenda /tenda comunità, messe a disposizione dalla nostra associazione .La cucina è comunitaria e i pasti collettivi: i volontari provvederanno a turno alla loro preparazione : poiché la nostra comunità si ispira a un modello di autosufficienza energetica , la cucina e il riscaldamento , il boiler della doccia vanno a legna( proveniente dai boschi da noi gestiti in maniera sostenibile).
