Wind farm

Parco eolico

“The plant consisting of 4 wind turbines of 2 MW each for a total of 8 MW of power, was built on Monte Mesa which has the great distinction of still hosting arid meadows rich in wild orchids.

 

Wild orchids

Orchidee selvatiche

Particular attention was paid to orchids: not only were the different species mapped, but also all the individual specimens that could have been destroyed by the construction site, with sufficient precision to extract the bulb from the ground during the winter and transplant them outside the area. of construction site before the start of the latter. Specialized technicians then collected the seeds of the protected orchid species, which were then reproduced by the hundreds in the laboratori of the “Parco Barro”, which then took care of the subsequent transplantation inherent in the dry meadows previously deforested and cleaned. Another peculiarity was the sieve and the screening of the ground excavated on site to create runways and pitches, both the vegetal and inert part, which allowed, after the assembly of the wind turbines, to reconstruct not only the morphology of Monte Mesa but also its pedology .” (Source Legambiente). Once under the first altarpiece you can admire a unique panorama of its kind: if we look towards the north / west you can admire the entire Morainic Amphitheater, the Valdadige up to arriving with a look to the east and see the Rocca di Rivoli and the Chiusa.
