ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIONS PROMOTED
BY GARDA TRENTINO TRAIL
Garda Trentino Trail is equipped with an operational protocol that covers actions with low environmental impact that believes it can be implemented in the organization of its sports events. These actions do not want to be an end in themselves and separate to the concretization of the sporting event itself, but good practices that it is considered appropriate to use in the complex organization of an event.
They can be of little importance if taken individually but of extreme practicality if contextualized in the general plan.
This list is organic in its drafting and maintenance whenever the opportunity to implement it occurs.
