Get to know Parco del Serio, a protected area in Lombardy
The territory of the Park runs through 26 municipalities between Bergamo and Cremona. The landscape we see today is the result of the millennial relationship between people and the environment. In particular, the river is bordered by agricultural areas alternating with natural areas of meadows and forests.
WOWnature’s intervention
To preserve the area, it is imperative to conserve biodiversity, that is, the variety of species and genetic heritages found within the Park, such as the Great Crested Newt. The presence of this animal indicates that the area is free of pollutants and the water is well oxygenated. For this reason, our project involves the creation of new forests on the banks of the river, interspersed with meadows and shrubs. We want to plant nearly 6,000 trees, and to do this we need your help.
