From a use of low plots creating an open almost landscaped setting, the territory underwent a gradual abandon of terraced meadows and the bottom of the valley then harvested areas. Locals and politicians refused to let the area turn into a wilderness. They chose to act and develop the means to create a habitat in line with the world today. The encroachment of wilderness and softwoods was prevented.
