Regola e Comunione Familiare di Costa - a historic collective body based in San Nicolò di Comelico (BL) active in the sustainable management of agro-forestry-pastoral assets, woods and pastures - has obtained from CSQA the PEFC-Scope 3 certification , the first in Veneto, for ecosystem services, tourist and recreational functions.

With the significant support of the Consorzio Legno Veneto/RIR ForestaOroVeneto , Regola has succeeded in certifying its forestry heritage for tourism purposes , managed according to sustainability principles and criteria.

This is an area of 541.15 hectares of regulatory property and in particular of Mount Zovo , also including the De Doo refuge and the forest and meadow context connected to it.

"We're small, but we have big ideas and, above all," explains Ivano De Rigo Plaina, head of Regola di Costa, "an environment that offers the true mountain, an ideal place for slow tourism, in touch with nature, and genuinely authentic. It's so beautiful and unique that we decided to certify it, and we're the first in Veneto."

«One of our goals has always been to enhance the forestry and pastoral heritage of the Regole , thanks to correct and sustainable forest management ; this means that our wood has a particular value and also a particular cost.

Now with this new certification it is confirmed that the territory also has a particular tourist and recreational value , starting from the value of the biodiversity of the Costa area and in particular of Mount Zovo, as well as the unique environmental characteristics and the timely sustainable management of its forests".
