are in Mantua, in the heart of the Mincio Park, next to Lago di Mezzo, to update you on the progress of the reforestation project. This woodland, which is vital for improving the local habitat, has seen the removal of non-native species and the reintroduction of native species such as oaks, hornbeams and poplars. It\u2019s not just about trees: the footpaths have been improved and innovative \u2018tree talker\u2019 devices have been installed to monitor the temperature of the woodland compared to the outside, demonstrating its cooling effect. Furthermore, the project actively involves the community through environmental education activities, making the Peri-urban Woodland a shining example of collaboration between nature and people.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-25 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4507e333\" data-id=\"4507e333\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-be2a087 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"be2a087\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-25 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1860e1f\" data-id=\"1860e1f\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f8f3b24\" data-id=\"f8f3b24\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f858ffa elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f858ffa\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Mantua\u2019s Peri-urban Woodland: nature, city and community involvement<\/h3>\n<p>This morning we find ourselves in the <strong>peri-urban woodland of Mantua<\/strong>, a green space stretching along the shore of <strong>Lake Mezzo<\/strong> and offering one of the most striking views of the city of Mantua \u2013 the one you can admire as you cross the San Giorgio bridge.

The woodland in this area is characterised by <strong>oak-hornbeam<\/strong> and <strong>poplar groves with willows<\/strong>, meso-hygrophilous formations that thrive in damp soils. The reintroduction of native species has restored the woodland to its original appearance.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reinforcement and restoration of the lake banks:<\/strong> The banks of Lago di Mezzo have been restored to prevent erosion, a problem which, if left unchecked, could compromise the entire lake ecosystem.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Improvement of the network of footpaths:<\/strong> The footpaths running through the woodland have been restored and improved, offering visitors accessible and pleasant routes to immerse themselves in nature.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Installation of TreeTalkers:<\/strong> These innovative devices \u2018make the trees talk\u2019, measuring the <strong>internal temperature of the woodland<\/strong> and comparing it with the external temperature. The results highlight the important cooling <strong>ecosystem service provided by forests<\/strong>.

in the heart of the Mincio Park, next to Lago di Mezzo, to update you on the progress of the reforestation project. This woodland, which is vital for improving the local habitat, has seen the removal of non-native species and the reintroduction of native species such as oaks, hornbeams and poplars. It\u2019s not just about trees: the footpaths have been improved and innovative \u2018tree talker\u2019 devices have been installed to monitor the temperature of the woodland compared to the outside, demonstrating its cooling effect. Furthermore, the project actively involves the community through environmental education activities, making the Peri-urban Woodland a shining example of collaboration between nature and people.<\/p>\n<p>Translated with DeepL.com (free version)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":420,"featured_media":557556,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[267],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-578959","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-people"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
