The 30th of December of 2014 were completed project actions A1 “Conservation status assessment for the 6210* habitat”, A3 “Guidelines for habitat conservation and restoration” and A4 “Technical actions for the habitat conservation and restoration”
As part of the A1, the classification of the 261 surveys has permitted to split the xerothermic grasslands into two major groups: the first can be associated to the alliance Xerobromion (order Brometalia erecti, class-Festuco Brometea) and therefore to the habitat 6210 *; the second group can be associated to the alliance Stipo-Poion carniolicae (order Festucetalia valesiacae, class-Festuco Brometea) and therefore to the habitat 6240 * "sub-Pannonian steppe grasslands". The action allowed to confirm the presence in the SIC of another priority habitat not yet officially reported at the site. It was also possible to assess the state of conservation of both habitats, with reference to the floristic composition, the presence of orchids and stenomediterrany species and their ecological characteristics.

The activities conducted as part of the Action A3 allowed to prepare guidelines for the conservation and recovery of the habitats 6210 * and 6240 * around the SIC. The guidelines were based on a careful and detailed analysis of the territory and xerothermic grasslands developed under other actions of the project, these guidelines represent an important contribution to the management of the area especially for the real applicability and sustainability of the proposed interventions. As part of the action A3 was drawn also another technical document aimed at management of habitats in other areas of Natura 2000. It includes, in addition to the intervention indications, an outline of the steps "methodological" necessary to apply the management in different areas and a summary of "good practices" to be followed, even in a wider application.

As part of the Action A4 were defined the actions necessary for the conservation and recovery of a significant portion of habitats 6210 * and 6240 * included in SIC IT1110030. Specifically, the management plan covers an area of about 80 ha on land owned by the municipalities of Bussoleno and Mompantero, the area is divided into two main areas.
