The management plan

The management plan is made by two different parts and it’s strictly linked to the LIFE Project monitoring plan which provides maintenance for it.
The two parts are linked to:
  • the description of the plan logical organisation;
  • the technical files, and the relative supplements, in which the managerial interventions are illustrated and localized.

The plan basis

The ecological frailty theme in human activities which can cause deep transformations in the territory structure and its ecosystems, doesn’t need further researches to be understood in his fundamental aspects. But also the farming defection, or rather the landscape re-evolution followed to the desertion of traditional farming, and also the loss of deep rural cultural roots, is one of the most worrying reasons for change in some important agricultural ecosystems and the loss of its biological-naturalistic value, as well as the cultural- landscape value. This is the case of the “vegri”, or habitats with the 6210 code, systems of arid semi-natural prairie, once preserved in their full functionality and in their beautiful constituent structure by means of periodical interventions of mowing or pasturing. On this basis, we wanted to re-visit some of the values which form the territory ecological planning, so that the analysis and the interpretation of the landscape and its ecosystems, which in the Euganean Hills have an intimate anthropogenal essence, could emphasize the value, or the values these ecosystems own and which are linked to their farming activities. We also intend to underline that , among the factors which put under risk the value of these systems stressing their vulnerabilty, the quit of these managing forms can surely be included together with their replacement by other technologies which are becoming potentially dangerous.


The plan in files
In order to get an easier articulation and a clearer interpretation for the reader, the Management Plan is presented in the form of “step files” or “ intervention files”, each one of these being dedicated to a precise habitat (Nature code 2000 n. 6210) or to small contiguous habitat groups among those registered, analysed and mapped within the three S.I.C. of the Euganean Hills Regional Park for a total area of more than 100 hectares. Each file reports all the information essential to the management plan, according to the Habitat Policy, albeit with the necessary adaptations to the planning object , which in the case of the LIFE project, is represented by the Habitats and not by the S.I.C. in their wholeness and in their complexity as eco-systemic structures.
