How Much Does A Gum Graft Cost?

HIGH VALMALENCO - L'Alpe Musella ROAD, THIS IS A DRAFT


In recent weeks, I expressed my grave concern about the irreversible damage that the road project would result in an area of \u200b\u200boutstanding environmental, historical, and consequently for the whole tourist Valmalenco.
The road, in fact, be of interest to the ancient path along which passed through generations of mountaineers, travelers and many British inventors of climbing rope teams of climbers directly to Bernina.
my arguments, the fact that the car approaching the pasture is too great a risk to the integrity of the places, the chairman of the Consortium Alpe Musella Mrs. Pagani, has peremptorily replied: "No mess Alpe Musella, the future path is only in the enlargement of existing trails, no fee will be much less environmental damage and destroy the old walkway.
To avoid spreading inaccurate information, not endorsed by knowledge of the facts, I gladly welcome the invitation addressed to me by President deepening of the Consortium and attached below the main technical data stated in the final draft presented to the municipality-executive Lanzada.
Title: "Adaptation of agro-forestry and pastoral roads for access to Alpe Musella.
In the legend inside of the drawings: "Road agro-forestry-pastoral project." Average width

current path: 1.5 meters.

planned road width: 3 meters.

Length: 640m.

earthwork volumes: 1230 cubic meters.

carryover volumes: 1123 cubic meters.

Expected parking at the end of the road (hilly tract) and 7 meters wide 30 meters long (the total width increases to 12 meters if you include the gargantuan size of the wall to the valley and the escarpment.)

No Planned 4 plots exchange 5 meters wide and 12.5 meters long.

Total amount: € 110,000 (how many meters of road done in a workmanlike manner, "the Swiss" per intenderci, si potranno mai realizzare con queste risorse? O è più probabile che, come accaduto negli ultimi anni in tutta la Valmalenco, l’esecuzione della pista sarà unicamente affidata all’operato del ruspista?).

Se questo è l’allargamento di un sentiero, intervento che danneggerebbe comunque la vecchia mulattiera, non oso pensare cosa potrebbe essere una strada.

Billboards: the worst spot for those who enter into Valtellina


La campagna contro i cartelloni pubblicitari stradali lungo le strade continua e recentemente anche un ex consigliere del Comune di Sondrio, Francesco Violante, ha preso posizione contro una selva di cartelli posizionati in prossimità della ferrovia nel Comune appunto of Poggiridenti. Really sad that the response of the Mayor replied justifying it all as the need for the institution to have some income. As if 6 / 7 signs (on the lawfulness of which would also be discussed!) Could fix the budget of a town! There are no words ...
I write, however, to report to your attention the important conference to be held in Sondrio pv Saturday, November 22 at the Council Chamber of the Provincial Administration in Sondrio. It's called
LANDSCAPE AND ECONOMY, is sponsored by the Economic Society and the Foundation Valtellinese Louis Bombers, under the patronage of the Province of Sondrio, Chamber of Commerce and Valposchiavo.
The central theme of the conference LANDSCAPE which will be the cornerstone of identity and as a factor of socio-economic development and will be among the speakers a number of prominent academics specialists.

Economic development and protection of the alpine landscape, landscape rehabilitation, care of the land as a model of development, all arguments which are all central and fundamental point of our initiative. You can easily find the fold of the news conference at the archive site www.vaol.it SONDRIO / VALMALENCO and ECONOMY / WORK.
The conference is open to all citizens who want to participate, and in my opinion represents an important opportunity to raise our voice and bring to the attention of the rapporteurs and the surface, this problem billboards.
I think of going there and I will be the voice of this Committee, spontaneous and who among you, like me, is sensitive to the issue.
