DESCRIPTION OF THE ACTIVITY:
For centuries the forests of Trentino have provided the mountain people with timber to build their homes, wood for heating, but also fruit, leaves and flowers to use as food (for people and animals) and as a cure for various illnesses and ailments.
In recent decades, these ‘secondary’ uses have been disappearing, thanks to the new modern lifestyle that sees us buying food in supermarkets and treating ourselves with products created by pharmaceutical companies.
But there are still forests in which traditions linked to ancient and now almost forgotten uses are handed down: this is the case of the Palù del Fersina forests, where the magic of Largà, the precious larch resin that used to be and is still being harvested for numerous uses, not only for curative purposes, has returned in recent years.
In an easy excursion, Forestpaola, an escort for the territory and a forestry doctor, will take you on an exploration of these woods, learning to recognise the larch from the other tree essences, and will tell you how the idea of recovering this ancient practice, which still allows us to obtain the gold of the woods, the precious Largà, came about.
