Gruppo Naturalistico Montelliano

The Montelliano Naturalistic Group has the official date of its formation in June 1969, as a new formation of the Montelliano Speleological Group, which had been operational, up to that date, since 1964, in a certain sense, the embryonic phase of this new association.

Certainly among the longest-standing centers dedicated to speleological activity, the Group has always been characterized by a strong educational imprint in its activities, mainly aimed at the field of research.

There are many activities on which the interest and study of the members of the Montelliano Naturalistic Group was expressed and which still constitute the current field of action:

• Speleology, which was part of the first training, conceived as a commitment in the field and aimed at understanding the underground structure of Montello and the internal hydrology that regulates the area;
• Mineralogy, Geology and Paleontology, as complementary disciplines to the previous one, but which over time have taken on their own dimension of both research and study and therefore a well-differentiated collection. li>

In 40 years of activity, with some natural ups and downs, the results obtained are notable and of certain absolute value.

The G.N.M. independently manages its own private museum which is opened upon request or on special occasions; it is widely used by schools of all levels for practical lessons with a possible complementary excursion to Montello.
