The collaboration between Dinara Back to LIFE and Dragodid began with our Collaborative Council meetings. It was followed by a lecture on stone wall building at the volunteer camp held for students. Restoration of Marunska bunarina, the first pond restored as a part of this project, followed last autumn, only to by continued this year with renovation of dry stone wall near the St. Jacob mountain hut on Vrdovo plateau.

Weekend workshops are held on islands, in Dalmatia, as well as Istria, and there one can learn the basics of dry stone wall building.

Malba\u0161a points out the great feedback from their students, large workshop turnout, and overall satisfaction of volunteers \u2013 some of which have started their own restoration projects restoring walls therefore spreading the knowledge and increasing the overall number of restored stone walls. The society itself either organised or ran stone wall workshops on 20 islands, 10 protected areas, and 23 towns and municipalities within Croatia, while abroad they took part in stone wall restoration activities in Greece, France, Italy, Portugal, Montenegro, Romania, and Bosnia and Herzegovina.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/dinarabacktolife.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Dizajn-bez-naslova-2022-03-25T090346.919-min.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dinarabacktolife.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Dizajn-bez-naslova-2022-03-25T090346.919-min.png 1000w, https:\/\/dinarabacktolife.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Dizajn-bez-naslova-2022-03-25T090346.919-min-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/dinarabacktolife.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Dizajn-bez-naslova-2022-03-25T090346.919-min-768x576.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/dinarabacktolife.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Dizajn-bez-naslova-2022-03-25T090832.126-min.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5010\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dinarabacktolife.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Dizajn-bez-naslova-2022-03-25T090832.126-min.png 1000w, https:\/\/dinarabacktolife.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Dizajn-bez-naslova-2022-03-25T090832.126-min-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/dinarabacktolife.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Dizajn-bez-naslova-2022-03-25T090832.126-min-768x576.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption><em>Member of Dragodid in front of a finished segment of a wall<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<p>Last year in Konavle near Dubrovnik, Dragodid organised the International Congress on dry stone, held at European level and was an important event for international dry stone wall building and restoring collaborations. These international collaborations are very important for exchanging knowledge on stone wall building due to the specificity of this method. In the spirit of this exchange Croatian builders also attend workshops abroad, while the workshop held at Petrebi\u0161\u0107a is attended by foreign volunteers. Considering these countries have different kinds of stone, they also use different building methods, for example, in France where slab-like stone is present \u2013 the wall layers are horizontal thus making the wall straight. In general, where there is stone in the world there are stone walls \u2013 from those found in South America in the likes of Machu Picchu to the pyramids in Egypt which are also considered type of dry stone wall buildings, Malba\u0161a says imaginatively.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/dinarabacktolife.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Dizajn-bez-naslova-2022-03-25T090716.005-min.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5004\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dinarabacktolife.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Dizajn-bez-naslova-2022-03-25T090716.005-min.png 1000w, https:\/\/dinarabacktolife.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Dizajn-bez-naslova-2022-03-25T090716.005-min-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/dinarabacktolife.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Dizajn-bez-naslova-2022-03-25T090716.005-min-768x576.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption><em>In the middle lof a wall, in the middle of work<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<p>In Croatia, each region has its specific way of stone wall building, primarily due to the different types of stone present in Istria, Dalmatia, and more specifically in the Ravni Kotari region where platy limestone is found. Stone walls can also be found outside of Croatia\u2019s coastal regions \u2013 in Zagorje they\u2019re often used as retaining walls as their structure is perfect to restrain soil while letting it drain. Additionally, builders adjusted the size and type of stone according to appropriate building methods and wall uses, they knew the area and what to expect in it. For centuries this method was developed and perfected and there was no need to alter it, states Malba\u0161a clarifying the association&#8217;s position on this topic.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/dinarabacktolife.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Dizajn-bez-naslova-2022-03-25T090808.818-min.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5008\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dinarabacktolife.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Dizajn-bez-naslova-2022-03-25T090808.818-min.png 1000w, https:\/\/dinarabacktolife.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Dizajn-bez-naslova-2022-03-25T090808.818-min-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/dinarabacktolife.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Dizajn-bez-naslova-2022-03-25T090808.818-min-768x576.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<p>In the 20 years of informal and 15 years of its formal existence Dragodid engaged with all types of constructions made with the dry stone wall technique, whether it was border-walls, houses, filed huts \u2013 \u2018bunjas\u2019, ponds, wells, and any other structure built in this technique. Naturally, in coastal Croatia stone is the primary building material and whenever something was built the main consideration was how to use what is available. The builders were also considering the economic implication of their work \u2013 when building walls and borders they were simultaneously clearing the land of stone thus creating agricultural land. In addition, fences made of dry stone provided protection from animals, wind, and snow, without having a negative impact on the local wildlife \u2013 wild animals could either squeeze through the wall or jump over it, and it can be used by various other species such as lizards, frogs, birds, hedgehogs, snakes, small rodents etc.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/dinarabacktolife.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Dizajn-bez-naslova-2022-03-25T095255.072-min.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5014\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dinarabacktolife.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Dizajn-bez-naslova-2022-03-25T095255.072-min.png 1000w, https:\/\/dinarabacktolife.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Dizajn-bez-naslova-2022-03-25T095255.072-min-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/dinarabacktolife.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Dizajn-bez-naslova-2022-03-25T095255.072-min-768x576.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption><em>At work on Vrdovo plateau<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<p>In order to further popularise this method, Dragodid made \u2018Gradimo u kamenu\u2019 handbook which gathers the knowledge on this method and presents the framework for building and preserving dry stone walls.
