Despite its great environmental value, this area in not very known. It
was also described at the beginning of the century by Michele Gortani:
"In the area of the Pine Wood it is frequent to see trees of the two
resinous species growing together: Spruce Fir and Scots Pine; except in
the westernmost section, near T. Degano, dominated by Scots Pine.
Within it, but only in some limited areas, there are pure Fir woods or
only Pines; sometimes the two main arboreal species grow together with
groups of Acacia, Ash, or Manna Ash, more rarely with groups of Alders
or a few Lime trees, rarely Oaks and Poplars; almost never the Willows
reach over the meter of height.
Slight environmental changes are enough to create the conditions for
the development of undergrowth rich in flora, otherwise the floristic
species remain rather limited.
Fortunately, these changes are frequent, and depend on various factors:
natural clearings, the recent cutting of the older plants, the presence
of water canals, the clayey soil, the proximity to the bed of river
Tagliamento, etc... These conditions and the fact that the whole area
is crossed by paths and trails going in every direction enable a
considerable freedom of movement and an interesting floristic presence"
(G. De Prato, "la flora del Parco").
