Traditional wooden fences are not only functional but also contribute to preserving the cultural heritage and natural beauty of mountain villages.

These wooden fences make agricultural work easier, as fewer temporary fences need to be set up and taken down for livestock in the autumn. At the same time, they prevent people and pets from entering the meadows, trampling the grass, and leaving behind waste.

Let's join forces and make a valuable contribution to preserving our beautiful landscape. We look forward to your active support!

Our project partner:
Nature park association Parc Ela

Parc Ela is located in the heart of Graubünden and unites three language cultures: Romansh, German and Italian. With steep mountain peaks and vast landscapes, the park still feels like a genuine wilderness. In the valleys, historic villages and Baroque churches remind us of the former importance of the trade routes over the Albula, Julier and Septimer Alpine passes. The park communities have joined forces to advance sustainable economic and social development. They work to preserve precious natural and cultural resources, strengthen the local economy and promote tourism close to nature.
