- ,
- , Green calendar
Explore the Valtellina Orobie Park with a different look. WOWnature invites you to participate in the free "Into The WOW" event on Saturday, June 24, dedicated to exploring and protecting this biodiversity-rich area.
THE GOAL OF THE DAY
During the day, you will have the opportunity to fully immerse yourself in the forests of Val di Fiemme. With experienced guides from the WOWnature team, you will explore hidden trails, discovering what threats the forest is facing! One among them is the bark beetle, the insect that, after the 2018 Vaia storm, is attacking trees that have withstood those high winds.
WHAT WE WILL DO TOGETHER
With WOWnature you will discover how you can protect and preserve this magical place. You’ll participate in hands-on activities that will help you understand how to manage a forest and what the benefits are.
Games, quizzes, interactive challenges and expert-led walks will provide an engaging experience for all ages.
THE EVENT IS OPEN TO ALL
Into The WOW is open to anyone who loves nature and wants to do their part to protect it. It doesn’t matter if you are an enthusiast or just beginning your journey of environmental awareness-the important thing is to have an open mind and a desire to connect with nature.
To participate, you must register by filling out the registration form in the link below. Places are limited, so be sure to reserve your spot as soon as possible!
