The restoration of the trail involves hands-on labor, with volunteers dedicating approximately 6 hours each day, primarily during the early morning hours. Participants will assist Legambiente in clearing and maintaining the path stretching from Lago Grande to the megalithic walls of Monte Pallano. This project includes organizing and cleaning the trail, as well as reclaiming sections that have been overgrown with vegetation. Additionally, new signage will be installed along the route to enhance its accessibility and usability.
Accomodation and food
Volunteers will be accommodated in a repurposed school building equipped with a self-managed kitchen. The diet will be eco-sustainable, focusing on local products with minimal meat consumption. Please note that there will be no Wi-Fi available at this location.
Location and leisure
The Monte Pallano and Lecceta d'Isca d'Archi area is enchantingly beautiful, rich in natural and archaeological wonders. Its strategic location and the presence of water sources have made it a hub of human settlement over the ages, as evidenced by the remains of the ancient Pallanum settlement, the impressive Megalithic Walls, and signs of human presence from the Paleolithic to the Neolithic, and through to the Hellenistic-Roman period. In Tornareccio, there is an open-air mosaic museum.

Project hosted by
The Legambiente Geo A.P.S. association was born in Atessa in 1989 thanks to the enthusiasm and the care of a group of young volunteers. Since 30 years our association deals with the improvement of the environmental and cultural quality in our area in order to satisfy the need of participation, cohesiveness, knowledge and identity of people. During the last years we have fighted against waste trade, land consumption, for the Sangro river safeguard and the Val di Sangro evironmental quality. Thanks to our devouted and determined work, we set up the SIC Monte Pallano and Lecceta d’ Isca d’ Archi area. It is a place where environmental and archaeoligical excellences coexist. Legambiente, in this area, manages Casanatura Fontecampana center, a place where people of any age can meet each other and share their love for nature and environment and broaden their knowledges about them through various activities. Since 2017, tanks to volunteers, Legambiente runs the recycling center in Atessa.
