The Pinewood of Cervia - Milano Marittima
Historical context
This wood has been classified as site of Community importance. It's part of the Delta del Po Regional Park and it is, to all interests and purposes, the green lung of Cervia, thanks to its 210-hectare extension.
The major part of the pinewood had been lost during the first half of the XX century, due to strong agricultural policies and as a consequence after the two World Wars.
Fortunately, the awareness of the local government, during the postwar period, allowed the fulfillment of a reafforestation program and the creation of the Natural Park.
How to fully enjoy the pinewood
Nowadays, the pinewood is an important heritage of naturalistic interest thanks to its highly varied ecosystem and it has become a destination of excellence in the ecotourism field.
