The restoration of the Path called On the Trail of the Wolf will allow a better use of the Wildlife Area with a more complete and authentic experience for visitors. The route is designed as a kind of excursion narrated in continuity with the characteristic stories of the historic center of Pretoro (The country of wolves and snakes). The proposed path becomes formative for those who want to know better the populations of Lupo Appenninico present on the Maiella and at the same time exciting in anticipation of the encounter with the wolves hosted in the area. The volunteers will collaborate in the different phases of the renewal of the existing path and will be able to improve their knowledge of wolves, the Park and the town of Pretoro, one of the most typical villages of the Maiella.
