LIFE STONEWALLSFORLIFE: Using Dry-Stone Walls as a Multi-purpose Climate Change Adaptation tool
STONEWALLSFORLIFE aims at repairing drystone walls and ensuring their long-term maintenance, to protect the territory and its inhabitants against the effects of extreme weather events, which are becoming more and more frequent. Drystone walls are thus environmentally relevant since they can effectively improve both the resistance and the resilience of the territory to climate change.
STONEWALLSFORLIFE highlights the social and cultural value of drystone walls and supports their restoration by bringing together experienced builders with migrants and unoccupied people, thus facilitating their job placements and social inclusion.
