Bosco di Vanzago, Regional nature reserve in Vanzago, Italy.
Description
Bosco di Vanzago is a regional nature reserve that encompasses forests, wetlands, and open meadows across three municipalities near Milan. The landscape includes mixed woodland, marshes, and grassland areas that support diverse animal populations.
History
The area was originally owned as private land and was transformed into a protected nature reserve in the 1970s. Since then it has served as a wildlife refuge and has become an important educational resource for the region.
Culture
Today the woods serve as a refuge for many animal species and are actively managed by local conservation groups. Visitors can discover the different habitats during walks and learn about the plants and animals that live in the region.
Practical
A visit is easily accessible by public transportation, as train connections run from Milan to the area. The best conditions for visiting are in the warmer months when wildlife is most active and visible.
Did you know?
The reserve protects a rare aquatic fern species that has nearly vanished from the region. This plant played an important role in the decision to establish the protected area.
