From 2016, the Municipality of Altopascio, also thanks to the collaboration of the local associations and the environmental guides of the territory, has started a process of relaunching, also in the field of tourism, of the Sibolla protected area.
A path of rebirth that concerns two main aspects. The first one: the activities of enhancement and conservation of the Reserve, from a naturalistic point of view, ordinary and extraordinary maintenance and protection of the fauna and flora present, thanks also to the interventions of the Lower Valdarno Reclamation Consortium and European projects Life.
The second one: the sponsorship of the Reserve, through an annual calendar of openings, workshop activities in the Visitor Center, guided tours for hikers, pilgrims, citizens and students (from local schools and from neighboring municipalities and provinces), initiatives.
From October 2020, the Municipality of Altopascio, after a long negotiation succeded in obtaining then management of the Visitor Center of the Sibolla Lake Nature Reserve, in agreement with Tuscany region. The goal is to take care of the protected area and promote in the best possible way the Reserve, one of its kind.
