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!

Associazione parco naturale Parc Ela

Il Parc Ela si trova nel cuore dei Grigioni e unisce le tre culture linguistiche del Cantone: romancio, tedesco e italiano. Con le sue ripide cime montuose e gli ampi paesaggi, circondato da ghiacciai e laghi di montagna, il parco offre ancora una vera sensazione di natura selvaggia. Nelle valli, i borghi storici e le chiese barocche ricordano l'antica importanza delle vie commerciali che attraversavano i passi alpini dell'Albula, del Giulia e del Settimo. I comuni del Parco lavorano di comune accordo, con l'ambizione di favorire una sviluppo economico e sociale sostenibile. Inoltre, le comunità locali collaborano per proteggere la natura e preservare i beni culturali, mirando al consolidamento dell'economia regionale e allo sviluppo di un turismo rispettoso dell'ambiente.
