The Parco Fluviale Gesso e Stura River with its 1500 hectares of natural environment for recreation, sports, culture and education in two steps from downtown is a hinge connection to the surrounding territories, downstream and upstream where it meets the natural park of Maritime Alps. The Parco fluviale Gesso e Stura was founded in February 2007 with the aim to protect and enhance the environmental and cultural resources of the river Stura di Demonte and Gesso. Since 1979 the citizens and societies cuneesi urged the municipal utility to redevelop the river habitat and return a social function at the rivers. The Group of interest is represented by birds.
