The program required the creation of three paths
for landscape interpretation with pre-established colors associated to each, in
a total of 11.840m set in a dense network of agricultural existing roads along
the banks of the Vouga River. Recreation and leisure, observation of wildlife
and flora, water cycles and agricultural activities that are taking place in
this landscape are the explicit objectives of the project. The conservation of
natural and cultural values, particularly the existing structure of the «Bocage
landscape», and the dynamic equilibrium of this habitat protected from
disturbances that the implementation of the program could bring, is the
implicit and essential goal. An intervention
which was wanted to be delicate
over this territory worked daily by “landscape makers,” will reveal it worthy of the designation of "Agricultural Park",
accessible to the populations of major metropolitan areas such as Porto,
Aveiro or Coimbra, through a project of small size and costs.
