For a sustainable management of wooded mountain pastures, it is fundamental to keep a balance between grazing areas and wooded areas. The increase of trees on the alp pasture is significant in our region. By taking part in maintenance days, you will act for the conservation of alpine species and assure a sustainable living space for farmers. The Alp of the Glacière is located in the Commune of Bex, not far from Pont de Nant. The Alp of Richard is specialised in goat cheese productions. The Alpes vivantes association is involved in concrete maintenance activities in the Alpes vaudoises. By participating in one of these field days, you will experiment the reality of a mountain farmer, broaden your knowledge of alpine species and make an important contribution for the preservation of the unique biodiversity of the Alpes vaudoises. Awareness-raising activities on the local biodiversity will also be organised during the team event.
