In the heart of Venice's northern lagoon, WOWnature's reforestation project in Lio Piccolo continues. In this extraordinary area, part of the Rete Natura 2000, we are building a natural barrier against erosion and climate change, plant by plant.

An ecosystem to protect

Since 2022, we have planted more than 20,000 trees and shrubs along the banks of the Paleazza Valley. Here, species such as tamarisk trees play a key role: they consolidate the soil, slow down tidal erosion and create microhabitats for fish, birds and other wildlife.

Constant monitoring and maintenance

During our last boat visit, we monitored the condition of the plants already planted and assessed their survival after the winter. The assessment is positive thanks to the careful management of the site. The trees have survived the cold season well and show a good degree of rooting. The maintenance activities carried out each year by the valley manager are crucial to the long-term success of the project.

A shared commitment

On this special day, we also planted new trees together with more than 130 citizens, volunteers and partner companies who decided to support the project by adopting a tree. It is thanks to this involvement that we can carry out a reforestation project that has a real impact on the health of the lagoon.

Let’s build the future of Lio Piccolo

Making this delicate environment more resilient is a challenge we face together, with small gestures that produce big results. If you too want to contribute to the protection of this precious corner of biodiversity, you can adopt a tree at Lio Piccolo and become an active part of the change.
