In the Berici Hills, in a corner of Veneto where woodland meets olive trees and vines, the Mezzaluna della Biodiversità is growing. Here, we are creating a regenerative ecosystem that fuses wild nature and sustainable agriculture, turning farmland into an oasis for biodiversity.

Reforestation and biodiversity

In the heart of the Berici Hills, the Mezzaluna della Biodiversità is a reforestation project that aims to create a complex and diversified forest ecosystem. Here, planting follows a precise planting pattern that alternates fruit trees, forest plants and shrubs to ensure a variety of species capable of sustaining themselves over time. During the last working day, in addition to planting new species, we monitored the plants planted last autumn. Although the growing season has not yet started, the plants are in excellent condition and ready to face the summer.

An explosion of wild flowers

Spring brings with it the first visible signs of biodiversity: in the rows between the trees, numerous species of herbaceous vegetation are developing, not mowed specifically to encourage flowering and the presence of pollinators. Wild strawberries and rocket, buttercups and bears are just some of the plants observed at this time. This careful management of vegetation is essential to provide food and shelter for insects, but also to support a diverse wildlife. On our last visit, we spotted roe deer, hares and various birds that permanently inhabit the area.

The Mezzaluna della Biodiversità is not just a place where trees are planted, but an open-air laboratory where concrete solutions for the protection of biodiversity are experimented. The project is possible thanks to the support of many people and companies who have decided to adopt a tree and contribute to the rebirth of this area. Adopt or gift a tree and support this project.
