As far as the rest of the provincial territory is concerned, what was established between the Province of Pavia and the Agricultural and Hunting Associations last week applies, therefore for hunting areas of the Lomellina e del Pavese (ATC ZPS Risaie della Lomellina, ATC 1, ATC 2 and ATC 3) the opening is scheduled for 26 September.
The postponement in these areas was decided to protect agricultural crops and avert dangerous decanting of hunting.
