Forests created or improved Val Camonica
Why did we support this forest?
Val Camonica is a cultural and natural heritage site of inestimable value.
History of the forest
The forests of Val Camonica preserve a unique natural and cultural heritage. Hidden among their trees is one of the most important collections of rock carvings in Europe, with more than 300,000 carvings left by the Camuni, a prehistoric civilisation that settled there in 5,000 BC. Not only that, but these woods also protect precious sources of drinking water that supply Lombardy. Unfortunately, in October 2018, Storm Vaia hit the area hard, knocking down trees and damaging entire forest slopes.
