Riserva Naturale Valle del Freddo

Promotion and Scientific Research in association with the University

The Reserve is actually managed thanks to:

• interventions to preserve and recover the protected territory
• promotion of scientific research
• promotional activities carried out by the Nature Reserve thanks to educational guided visits in collaboration with the Association Italia Nostra.

The results up to this moment:

• several picnic areas for visitors;
• suitable panels, with educational and informative boards;
• a suitable system of boundaries and signs regulating the access and the transit of visitors within the Reserve. The future Reserve Visitor Center will open soon.
