Project summary
This intervention is part of the LIFE RISORGIVE (LIFE14 NAT/IT/000938) “Conservation of biodiversity in the Municipality of Bressanvido”. The general objective of the LIFE RISORGIVE is for the reinstatement and consolidation of the green infrastructure that consists of a network of resurgences, irrigation ditches and channels in the Bressanvido District (Vicenza– Italy). This infrastructure is located in an area with a strong agricultural (dairy farming) orientation: within this context the loss of biodiversity caused by the intense exploitation of the territory can be significantly reduced. LIFE RISORGIVE includes 26 resurgence systems (a total of 43 springheads) that have already been identified by a previous census, their banks, irrigation ditches and connected waterways. The restoration of the 26 resurgences involves stakeholders who an essential role in their protection and enhancement such as land reclamation authority, farmers, ecological associations, fishermen.
Specifically, the interventions envisaged for the environmental requalification for the "Bacino Castellaro" project are: (1) Hydraulic and morphological restoration and redevelopment interventions (Restoration of hydraulic functionality; Morphological redevelopment: reshaping and re-profiling of the banks; Reopening of the head of the Castellaro spring system). (2) Vegetation redevelopment interventions (Recovery and arrangement of the bank vegetation with the planting of native species suitable for the resurgence environment; Thickening hedges; Restoration of natural habitats such as wet, temporary and permanent areas. (3) Creation of didactic panels and signs.
