Going round Parks and Garden (Parks & Garden)

The project wants to valorize Historic gardens’ and rural landscape’s elements and to promote the exploitation of agricultural and cultural heritage. The aim is to enhance the preservation of historic gardens and to promote the tourist areas where the rural landscape’s natural or semi-natural elements are at degradation’s risk. The research of common solution for restoration, preservation, valorization and communication becomes, thus, the main objective of the project.

The Oglio Po Leader+ area is that part of the extreme south-east of Lombardy where the provinces of Brescia and Parma begin, where it is bordered by the river Po to the south and the river Oglio to the north. The territory counts 41 municipalities in the provinces of Cremona and Mantova. This territory is a strategic environmental heritage site and a potential environmental corridor between the foothills of the Alps and the Apennines. The two major waterways, the Oglio and the Po, as well as the many canals, are features of the countryside and have ideal paths and itineraries to follow along their major embankments. The project is a Leader+ experience’s continuation, organized with LAG Valle del Crocchio and LAG Venezia Orientale.
