When: May 21, 2023, from 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm.
Where: WWF Affiliated Oasis La Malcontenta e il Lupo. Frazione di Asproli, Todi (Pg).
On the occasion of the WWF Oasis Day, on May 21, 2023, the masterclass "The Depths of Nature. Introduction to Speleology" will be held.
The masterclass aims to take us on a journey through those areas of nature that are not visible. The environment, nature, biodiversity, are everywhere, microscopic or macroscopic, sometimes, as in this case, underground. Very often we do not notice what we have nearby, the immensity and diversity of life that we find everywhere. We are immersed in this teeming diversity, it's just a matter of observing it. In some cases, we find it under our feet: all it takes is a crack, a fissure, a hole in the rock and a world opens up from there. An unsuspected fracture in the earth that we may encounter along the path of one of our walks can actually be the narrow access to an underground world. We will dive in as if into the depths of the sea to begin this discovery: deep nature, underground nature, rocks, fauna, sounds, equipment, techniques. The basic knowledge of speleology will be illustrated by a highly experienced speleologist, Carlo Zoccoli. A master of climbing and underground exploration, he knows much of this territory, and will therefore accompany us in a first approach to the research and study of caves.
The masterclass will last 2 hours and will be held indoors. There will be image and sound projections and some speleology equipment will be shown and their operation explained.
At the end of the event, an aperitif with local products will be offered to participants.
The masterclass has limited places and allows a maximum of 15 participants.
Access to the facility where the course will be held involves the presence of stairs.
Throughout the area of the nature reserve it is not possible to bring dogs (even on a leash) or other pets.
The event is free. To participate, it is necessary to book using the form at the bottom of the page at the following link: https://www.lamalcontentaeillupo.com/le-profondit%C3%A0-della-natura
