Adopt a tree and protect Fiemme Valley

Val di Fiemme is known for its forests, historically managed by the Magnifica Comunità di Fiemme, a thousand-year-old collective institution responsible for the care of local woodlands. In 2018, storm Vaia severely impacted the area, toppling thousands of trees and threatening the ecological and scenic balance of the valley.
In response, WOWnature and forestry experts launched an active reforestation and forest improvement plan covering more than 65 hectares across the municipalities of Varena, Cavalese, Ziano di Fiemme, Trodena, and others, in the Autonomous Provinces of Trento and Bolzano.

In areas where trees were completely felled, we are planting over 100,000 new trees. The selected species—including Norway spruce, larch, maple, birch, stone pine, ash, and rowan—are all native and chosen based on the specific conditions of each site. This approach supports faster regeneration and improves the forest’s resilience to extreme events.

Where the forest survived but was damaged, we carry out maintenance, selective thinning, and enrichment actions. The goal is to increase biodiversity and forest stability, making it more resistant to future climate extremes and pests. In some areas, natural regeneration is encouraged, while in others new species are introduced to diversify the forest composition.
