First, the lawn at the roundabout at the entrance to the city was the focus of reports of wild boar incursions. Then, in the last few hours, the green lawn at the mortuary of the San Francesco hospital was affected by the animals' passage, which disturbed and damaged the soil. The presence of wild boars continues to be a hot topic in Nuoro, and now the focus shifts to planned interventions to control the species on Mount Ortobene.

The new measures primarily affect those who frequent the Ortobene area: from November 24th until the end of January, every Tuesday from 4:00 PM to 10:00 PM, access to the trails, forest tracks, and dirt roads affected by wild boar control operations will be prohibited. The measure, issued by Mayor Emiliano Fenu as part of the Provincial Wild Boar Management and Control Plan, prohibits unauthorized access to the areas affected by the operations. Paved roads will remain open, except for temporary restrictions for safety reasons.

Access to homes, private property, and businesses on the mountain is also guaranteed. Operations will be suspended from December 20th to January 6th inclusive, and in the event of a red weather alert. This measure is necessary because the operations involve the use of firearms by authorized operators. Any changes will be communicated by the Municipality. Hikers and visitors to Ortobene should therefore be careful on Tuesday afternoons: on the days when operations are taking place, some trails will be closed.
