I woods of the Sanctuary of Sant'Antonio alla Macchia, as well as always being a destination for hunters and mushroom makers, in recent years they are also increasingly frequented by runners, cyclists and ordinary citizens looking for a place to take some nice walks. Unfortunately, however, it is also used in a reckless and uncivilized way even for abandon waste of all kinds. To remedy this situation the municipal section Federcaccia of San Pancrazio Salentino (Brindisi) with its president Pancrazio Buccolieri, took the initiative to dedicate a day dedicated to waste collection, and after having submitted an official request to the councilor for the environment, who immediately granted us the operation, we started with the separate collection of the areas concerned.
"We hunters who know every corner of the forest are the first to be interested in safeguarding the environment that hosts us - said President Buccolieri - so we met on Sunday 28 February with a dozen members to dedicate a few hours of our time in favor of nature and the environment. At the end of the day we were thanked by everyone: environmental associations, common citizens and municipal administration. The success of the event it gives us a way and an incentive to repeat the operation, because unfortunately there are still a lot of waste ”.
