Discovering the Karst Springs and the Ancient Drinking Troughs

Day dedicated to the visit and discovery of the karst springs and drinking troughs of the territory of Rondissone and the watercourse of Dora Baltea. Led by expert naturalists of Società Botanica Italiana SBI (Italian Botanic Society of Piemonte and Valle d'Aosta sections) and by the tour guides of Po River and Collina Torinese Park, visitors will have the opportunity to discover environments of great naturalistic value and not very known or even forgotten places of historical interest.
Interesting naturalistic observations will give the opportunity to admire rare species of plants and insects, while an afternoon scientific workshop session will give participants the opportunity to analyze the natural finds like real scientists.

After a short introduction to the activities, the group will be led in an outdoor visit with the experts. The activities will end late in the morning with return to Rondissone: here the participants will be welcomed in the Multipurpose Hall of the Town Hall for the lunch managed by the local tourist board. In the afternoon, scientific workshop with analysis of naturalistic samples with microscopes and funny scientific experiments.

Participation fee: 15 Euros.
