C5. Application of grazing management guidelines

The action C5 was completed.

 

The action was completed in line with what has been foreseen in the project. The goal of this action was to actually apply the guidelines for habitat management for conservation purposes. To achieve this, it was necessary to identify a company to entrust the animals, whose contract was signed on 30/12/2014. In 2015, LIFE grazing started in the areas of intervention of the xerothermic oases. The grazing took place partly in the spring and partly in the autumn and involved both the surfaces of the intervention sectors owned by the Municipalities of Bussoleno and Mompantero, and some private areas (about 20 ha) granted for this purpose by the owners. From spring 2018 to autumn 2019, grazing had to be suspended in the areas most damaged by the fire of autumn 2017 in order to allow the recovery of the plant communities of the target habitats.
