Parco Pineta di Appiano Gentile e Tradate

A Forest in the Plain, Alive and Rich in Natural Features

A forest in the plain, alive and rich in natural features, forest agricultural and social activities. Several animal species and plants have chosen to live here: the Honey Buzzard coming in spring from Africa, the Northern Goshawk which has re-colonized the area after hundreds of years, the Crested Tit, a guest from the mountains, the Crested Newt living in the ponds, and the Red Squirrel, the king of the forest trees. The arboreal vegetation is dominated by the Scotch Pine, whose colors enrich the landscape, and the Common Oak, real column of the woodland; at their foot, the orchid growing in the meadows and the Dogfoot Violet with its violet flowers dominate the damask carpet of the woodland.
