THE
PARK PROGRAMME
Information
and teaching activities at: the brown bear enclosure in Spormaggiore, the
Venetian sawmill in Molveno, the “Rio Bianco” botanical gardens in
Stenico and the Spa gardens in Comano.
Educational itineraries: these are very easy itineraries in Cavedago, the Vallesinella
Valley, Sporeggio Valley, Fumo Valley and at Lake Molveno. At several points
along the way there are numbered blocks of wood which refer to booklets that
explain and illustrate the naturalistic features of the itinerary.
“Valle
di Non” ethnographic exhibition in Tuenno.
The
programme for the Adamello Brenta Nature Park represents the culmination of
all the various plans and schemes for the development and use of the park land. After several years’ planning and
discussion, the programme was
formally adopted on 18th August 1999.
The
areas of the park are divided into four types depending on their ecological
and environmental value.
“Integral” reserves: these are areas where the natural environment has remained
completely unspoilt and unchanged by human intervention. This type covers
about 37% of the whole territory and includes the following areas: Lobbia,
Seniciaga, Germenega, Fumo, Borzago, Brenta, Pietra Grande, Vallon and Ceda.
“Guided”
or general reserves: more elastic regulations apply to the preservation of
the environment in that some forestry work, grazing and farming is permitted
as well as some development for the tourist industry. This type of area
covers about 59% of the park’s territory, with the following comprising the
most important areas: Presanella, Tóvel, Campa, Bedole, southern Brenta,
western Brenta, upper San Valentino valleys , Fumo, Borzago and Breguzzo.
“Controlled” reserves: these reserves cover 3.6% of the park’s territory and include
areas where there has been some development of the tourist industry such as
Spinale, eastern Presanella and Pradel.
“Special” reserves:
