Un viaggio alla scoperta dei Parchi Nazionali americani ci ha portato a conoscere realtà diverse e lontane dalla nostra, per arrivare al ricchissimo patrimonio naturalistico della nostra Regione.
Nella grande cornice dell'Agenda 2030 prosegue il nostro percorso verso un futuro ed un turismo sostenibili.
Il lavoro di interclasse ha attivato e messo in gioco competenze digitali e lingua Inglese ed è arrivato nei Parchi del Regno Unito.
A presto e buon viaggio nella Natura vicina e lontana!

uno slogan o una realtà?
Outdoor enthusiasts visiting Italy have a new term to learn before arriving in the country: Sentiero dei Parchi. The name says it all — the “Trail of the Parks” will connect all of Italy’s national parks in one long trail by expanding the current Sentiero Italia, or “Italy Trail.” The project, the result of a collaboration between the Italian Ministry for Environment and the Italian Alpine Club, will connect all 25 of the country’s national parks in a north-south trekking route that spans mountains, inland stretches, and islands. It’s part of a broader effort to promote conservation and outdoor recreation in Italy.
“I think there was no better occasion to celebrate European Parks Day, than to sign a protocol between the Italian Alpine Club and the Ministry of the Environment,” said Italian Alpine Club President Vincenzo Torti in a statement on May 23 (the European Day of Parks takes place yearly on May 24). The existing Italy Trail currently connects 16 of the country’s national parks and stretches more than 4,300 miles. An additional nine national parks plus other protected areas, reserves, and UNESCO heritage sites will be added to complete the new trail that will stretch from the Alps of northern Italy to the island of Sicily and through Sardinia.
“National parks are a treasure chest of nature,” said Italian Minister for the Environment Sergio Costa. “We have to guarantee their conservation, but also their availability.”
Much like the Camino de Santiago and other long-distance treks around the world, hikers can collect marks on a passport at different stops along the way. Complete the entire trail and you’ll receive a commemorative honoring from the Ministry for Environment and the Italian Alpine Club.

Un viaggio che ci ha permesso di conoscere meglio il Regno Unito, i suoi paesaggi e le sue 'emergenze ambientali ' profondamente diverse dalle nostre.
Britain has many places of World beating natural beauty. It was in 1951 that Britain began to recognise the importance of our best-loved landscapes by making them National Parks. The very first of these was the 1400 square kilometre park of the Peak district, which remains one of the most popular national parks in the world. From the majestic mountains of Snowdonia to the romance and tranquillity of the Lake District, these parks are at the heart of this green and pleasant land. There are 15 National Parks in total. The most recent additions being the 2 Scottish Parks of the Cairngorms and Loch Lomond and the Trossachs. Britain's National Parks are areas of protected countryside that everyone can visit. They cover a variety of different landscapes, ranging from the rugged beauty of Dartmoor to the woodlands of the New Forest. The Brecon Beacons National Park in Wales is a record of thousands of years of human interaction with the natural environment which have shaped the landscape we see today. With so many locations to choose from it's easy to experience the grandeur of our national parks, Britain's breathing spaces.
For a small country, the United Kingdom packs a hefty punch when it comes to the diversity and beauty of its landscapes.
For proof, you only need look at the 15 national parks found across England, Scotland and Wales (there are no national parks currently in Northern Ireland), which change dramatically from the towering peaks of the Cairngorms to the sprawling waterways of the Broads, from the gently rolling South Downs to the broad beaches of the Pembrokeshire coast.
This year is the 75th anniversary of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949, which led to the creation of the UK's national parks, starting with the Peak District in 1951. The visionary legislation secured access-for-all to open countryside, while also serving to protect precious wildlife and places of immense natural beauty.
A concept imported from the United States (Yellowstone, established in 1872, was the world's first national park), the UK's national parks were "the culmination of political battles that had been fought for decades", says Carey Davies, hiker, naturalist and author of the new book National Parks Of The United Kingdom (Ithaka Press). "The Industrial Revolution made the British the world's first predominantly urban population. It's vital that people have breathing spaces and retain our connections to the land. But the idea that nature is good for people and that people needed access to the countryside was particularly pronounced after the UK had been through the horrors of World War Two. There was an exhausted population. Britain can feel like a crowded place in our cities but national parks can be oases of calm and space."
Today, the UK's national parks are popular, highly valued places to unwind, hike, climb, cycle and paddle. "They're also refuges for rare wildlife, plants and distinctive habitats, and they have a vital role to play in addressing some of the most pressing challenges our country faces, such as biodiversity loss, climate change and wellbeing," says Davies. "We need our national parks now more than ever."
