La Spezia – A great job for 2021 by the La Spezia group of forest police, who presented the report. The soldiers under the orders of Colonel Pierluca Domenichini distinguished themselves by discovering an abusive reduction of wooded area throughout the Spezzino. In particular, 2 more extensive cases occurred in the Municipality of Luni during vineyard planting activity, respectively of approximately 10 thousand and 15 thousand square meters.
Other minor interventions were ascertained in the municipalities of Sarzana (400 m2 for olive groves) and Varese Ligure (800 m2 for the construction of an illegal road) with consequent criminal and administrative violations. Two more in Follo (1000 + 5000 sqm for olive groves) with only administrative sanctions because there was no authorization for the hydrogeological constraint. The clearing of the forest (i.e. the eradication of stumps) must be authorized in advance as it is an asset protected both by landscape regulations that provide for criminal violations, and by the regional forest law, which provides for the calculation of an administrative penalty in proportion to the number of uprooted stumps.
