Moreover, hikes and guided visits are organized.
CEA in Castello Matese organizes guided visits along the Park trails which, beginning from the observation of the territory, become an occasion for environmental education experiences. Moreover, it organizes experimental labs where visitors have the opportunity to carry out multidisciplinary and multimedia activities.
CEDA, managed by the Legambiente section of Piedimonte M. and opened in 1997, is an Environmental Documentation Center offering information material and didactic tutoring to the several environmental education projects developed by local schools, in particular on protected areas.
