News from the forest

The Pignaverde Foundation team has used the warm, golden autumn days of the past few weeks to produce images. Together with partner communities from whom the wood processing center receives and processes resurse wood, they have teamed up and developed exciting scripts for scenes in and around the forest.

What a day! Saturday, October 5, 2024, could go down in history for the Pignaverde Foundation. On the occasion of the traditional sheep shearing, Pignaverde was able to arouse a great deal of interest and attracted remarkable attention.

On Saturday, October 5, 2024, 300 sheep will return to the valley from the Alp Flix and will be greeted with a warm welcome at the traditional sheep shearing market in the heart of Savognin. During the shearing of the 300 sheep, market stalls all around offer regional products for sale and tasting, a show-swinging event is organized and, of course, musical interludes are not to be missed in addition to many other highlights - also for the little ones.

Passione Engadina is one of the most important international classic car events. The annual get-together of Italian automobiles from numerous decades has long since established itself and is a household name among connoisseurs. The 13th edition took place last weekend in perfect weather. This year's guest brand was Maserati. In honor of the 110th anniversary of the traditional car brand from Modena, Passione Engadina put the "Maserati" brand in the spotlight! This year's event was once again very popular and sold out early. Well over 100 classic and modern gems took part and enjoyed the beauty of the Grisons mountains.

The premiere last Sunday, August 4, was a success! For the first time, we had a market stall at the rock festival in Bivio. Together with our partners from Parc Ela, we formed a small market village on the main theme of "Forest Culture". We had many interesting conversations and our ball game was a big hit with both children and adults. Many thanks for the numerous visits and donations for our Pignaverde Foundation.

The glorious summer evening invited us to hold an exciting outdoor event from the "Forest Culture" summer series. Together with our partner Parc Ela, we welcomed a dozen guests to the "Borki" event - protecting the mountain forest with sniffer dogs on the Lareschs playground in Savognin.

In close cooperation with the Surses Forestry Office, the pioneering project "#01/2 Riz" was developed and launched on 26 September 2023. On 20 June 2024, the first project of the Pignaverde Foundation was successfully accepted.

The modern wood processing center "resurses" in Tinizong was officially opened on the popular "Klaus occasion" of December 6, 2022.

The renowned institution from the Engadin will be Pignaverde's first project sponsor.

On December 14, 2021, history was made, at least for the forest community, for all those who belong and for those who want to become one.
