The Councilor also touched upon other issues during the meeting together with the local administrators, such as the containment of wild boars and the bark beetle. To contain the risk of spreading swine fever, which for now - it must be said - has not affected our territory, the provincial administration has been in place for some time, thanks to changes made to the regulations with a resolution of the Executive, containment measures in collaboration with the hunters association that are giving good results, while a technical table was set up already in 2021 with the Department, the Provincial Company for health services, the Provincial Forestry and Agriculture Services and hunters.
The invitation addressed to the first citizens is to inform citizens about risks related to swine fever and to report to the Trentino Forestry Corps any discovery of wild boar carcasses in the area. In light of the concerns expressed by representatives of local authorities, it was then reported that the Forestry Service will shortly present the new intervention plan for the recovery of timber and the safety of areas affected by the bark beetle, which until last year was part of the post-Vaia management activities. A path that will involve all stakeholders (The Voice of Trentino).
