Reforestation event in Val di Mello: plant a tree in Lombardy’s largest nature reserve

How to participate

If you want to participate in this reforestation initiative and protect an ecosystem protected by the European Community: 

• Adopt or give a tree: choose from the 4 different species of trees available.

• Invitation to the planting event: after adopting a tree, you will receive an email invitation to the event where you can plant your tree in person. Share this experience with friends and family to make the day even more special.

• Get ready for the event: Wear comfortable clothes and hiking shoes. October 14 will be the perfect opportunity to relax in nature while doing good for the environment. 

Reforestation goal

With this project on the one hand, the aim is to improve forest management and on the other to 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.
