Riserva Naturale Orientata Monte Altesina

The inland areas of Sicily, usually called "aree del latifondo siciliano" (areas of the Sicilian large estate) for their orographic and climatic features, are characterized by a varied series of mountains, hills, plateaus, gullies, streams, etc. cultivated with wheat and other cereals, or simply used as pastures. Bare and uncultivated lands are frequent: they are classified as "disadvantaged agriculture lands". It is also possible to find woodlands dominated by pines and eucalypti planted here in the 1960s.
