Environmental Education Regional Center
Ticino Park has begun an intense collaboration with the world of school. The proposal and the instruments used work as a support to the didactic programs dealing with environmental education issues. The aim of the Park is to create, through these interventions, a greater sensitization towards nature which might lead to a more correct management of the territory and a better relationship between man and environment.
Among the various proposals, the didactic structure of the Mulino Vecchio acquires a particular importance. At the Mill it is possible to exploit various didactic opportunities, increasing in this way the learning possibilities also through the direct contact with a reality which bring us back in time.
