Oasi Lago di Conza

The reserve encompasses an 800-hectare artificial basin formed by the Ofanto river, with a maximum depth of 25 meters and water capacity of 63 million cubic meters.

The Conza dam, constructed in the 1970s and operational since 1992, serves a catchment area of 252 square kilometers for irrigation and water management purposes.

Educational programs and research activities at the reserve focus on environmental conservation through partnerships with schools and universities to promote ecological awareness.

The reserve features walking paths, observation points, a visitor center, conference facilities, and guided tours for exploring the diverse habitats and wildlife.

The area contains the largest colony of herons in Southern Italy and functions as a critical stopover point for migratory birds between the Tyrrhenian and Adriatic Seas.
