Evento impianto WOWnature - Val di Mello 20231

Events in Mello valley: come plant your trees

Val Masino, Sept. 14, 2024. An unmissable event in the picturesque Val di Mello, dedicated to the planting of trees adopted by nature and mountain enthusiasts. This project aims to enhance and enrich local ecosystems, promoting the growth of a lush forest in one of the most striking places in the Alps. It will also be an opportunity to discover the forest protection and good management interventions that we are implementing thanks to the support of citizens and businesses.

Forests in Val di Mello

Val di Mello is the largest nature reserve in Lombardy. It lies almost in the center of the Alpine arc, leaving the flat Valtellina, heading north toward the Swiss border. The almost entirely flat valley floor is accessible to all. Indeed, there are many nature lovers who choose this valley to admire its beauty. We are talking about natural waterfalls, a stream, forests and meadows that rise to caress the gray rock walls. Its 4500 hectares of territory, between the municipalities of Val Masino and Mello, in the province of Sondrio, are mountain territories one quarter covered by forests and partly protected as a Natura 2000 Site.

Why adopt a tree here

The gradual depopulation of mountain areas and the parallel overcrowding of tourism means the abandonment of activities related to the mountain pasture economy. The territory is therefore suffering from the reduction of the most fragile habitats and the loss of biodiversity. With the WOWnature project, we want to invite you to improve forest management and protect and enhance biodiversity. Special attention will be paid to habitats and species of community interest, starting with valley floor ecosystems such as alder forests, which are endangered by the masses of tourists who flock to the areas on weekends. Reforestation and restoration of natural balances will make the Val di Mello forest strong and resilient.
