Public assembly

After the greetings of the municipal president - Claudio Marchi, the FIDC-UCT Provincial President - Simone Tofani - intervened and asked the political world and the administrators present for respect and consideration for the "honest hunting citizens", recalling that every 5 years, all hunters, must be subjected to psycho-physical tests and checks of their criminal record.
Environmental management
Tofani also suggested that the hunting world could play an active role in the design and redevelopment of public spaces and "urban greenery" by making its knowledge available in environmental management and biodiversity conservation. Tofani concludes that hunters are the first "sentinels of the environment" and should be perceived as such by local administrations, also underlining the many environmental restoration and control operations of antagonistic species in which they are engaged daily.
Wildlife plan and hunting calendar
