Biodiversity crescent

In the Berici Hills, the Biodiversity Crescent is about to be born, with the aim of contributing directly to the preservation and enrichment of animal and plant species in the heart of the Veneto region. Here the majesty of nature blends with the wisdom of organic and regenerative agriculture, creating a mosaic of olive trees, vines and fruit trees in harmony with the nearby forest.

By adopting a tree in the Biodiversity Crescent, you will actively participate in creating an ecosystem where each plant is selected for its ability to contribute to the health of the soil and the prosperity of the entire system. In hilly areas like this, good water management is crucial because the slope of the land causes rainwater to scene downstream and be lost.. The idea of slowing down the flow of water downstream allows for better use of rainwater, making it available to plants for a longer period of time. This happens because of the strategic arrangement of the rows, which act as natural barriers, slowing down the water and allowing it to infiltrate the soil. In this way, water and nutrients are retained, improving soil fertility and moisture, essential factors for biodiversity.

Choosing trees that produce berries is strategic for supporting birds and other wildlife. Berries provide a valuable and often available food source for much of the year, attracting different species of birds, which can also feed on the insects that will naturally occur among the plants. This variety of natural food contributes to a balanced ecosystem, where predatory birds can help control insect populations, reducing the need for insecticides. This creates a natural cycle of life that benefits the entire ecosystem. Trees and plants that are not treated with synthetics attract more insects, which in turn attract birds and other predators, helping to maintain the natural balance of habitats. This project marks the importance of a holistic approach to environmental management, where water is conserved and used efficiently, organic matter enriches the soil, and biodiversity is promoted and sustained through agricultural practices that respect natural balances. Adopt a tree in the Biodiversity Crescent and leave a positive mark on the Berici Hills.
