The Pinewood of Pinarella and Tagliata
Historical context
The pinewood was initially planted with stone pines in the early '40s by the State Forestry Corps in order to protect the nearest households from high winds coming from the sea.
After that, it's been decided to reforest these areas with cluster pines and Russian olives, considered to be resistant to winds and salt.
Pinarella's pinewood has been recognized as State Nature Reserve in 1977 to safeguard its own plant cover.
