Forests created or improved Bandiziol e Prassaccon Forests
Why did we support this forest?
These forests are the largest lowland forests in the Eastern Veneto region. They were planted between 1994 and 1997, thanks to a project of the Municipality of San Stino di Livenza.
History of the forest
The Bandiziol and Prassaccon woods are located in the northeastern part of the municipality of San Stino di Livenza, in the province of Venice. This area, initially covered in natural woods, was converted to agricultural use approximately fifty years before our intervention. In 1994, the Municipality of San Stino di Livenza launched a project to restore the original vegetation, planting between 1994 and 1997 what is now the most extensive lowland forest complex in eastern Veneto, covering an approximate total area of 110 hectares. The current vegetation is primarily dominated by English oak, hornbeam, and field maple, with a rich layer of shrubs and herbaceous plants of naturalistic value, including specific orchids.
This forest is part of the Associazione Forestale di Pianura.

How we improved the forest
WOWnature intervened to further enhance the environmental heritage of the Bandiziol and Prassaccon woods through a participatory process. We actively involved local authorities and organisations in the area to define targeted interventions to improve and promote the forest. The goal was to further increase the area’s tourism, recreation, cultural, and educational potential by encouraging sustainable and responsible use of the forest.
