Permanent Meadows and Pollinators: An Engaging Visit to the Bastions of Palmanova Amidst History and Biodiversity

On June 1, 2024, as part of the FAI days for biodiversity, the Biodiversity Service of the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region, in collaboration with FAI-FVG and the “Amici dei Bastioni di Palmanova”, organized a walk titled “Prati stabili e impollinatori”. The route wound through the permanent meadows of the Bastions, the Napoleonic and Venetian fortifications, and the first interventions to create flower strips within the lunettes and along one of the moats surrounding the star-shaped city. About twenty people participated in the initiative, showing great interest and involvement, not only in the historical themes but also, and above all, in those related to biodiversity and support for pollination networks. Each participant was given informational material about the Life PollinAction Project.
