Parco naturale regionale Porto Selvaggio e Palude del Capitano
Parco naturale regionale Porto Selvaggio e Palude del Capitano, Regional natural park in Nardò, Italy
The park stretches along the Puglia coast with pine forests, Mediterranean vegetation, and wetlands forming diverse natural habitats for local species protection.
The regional park gained official recognition in 2006, expanding from a previous 420-hectare protected area established in 1980 through land donated by Baron Fumarola.
The park organizes regular educational programs and nature workshops to teach visitors about local flora, fauna, and traditional environmental conservation methods.
Visitors can explore marked trails throughout the park, with spring and autumn offering the most favorable conditions for hiking and wildlife observation.
The Palude del Capitano wetland within the park contains rare aquatic species and serves as a critical stopping point for migratory birds.
