Riserva naturale regionale Lecceta di Torino di Sangro, Regional nature reserve in Torino di Sangro, Italy.

Riserva naturale regionale Lecceta di Torino di Sangro is a 165-hectare protected area established in 2001, stretching from the Sangro river mouth to the Osento and up to 115 metres at the British military cemetery hill. Its coastal broadleaf forest, the only one in Abruzzo never replanted, grows on Pliocene sandstone; holm oak gives the reserve its name, though other oaks are more widespread. Ponds, the remains of Fonte San Nicola and steppe-like patches lie within the woods.

The reserve was officially protected in 2001 to preserve one of the few remaining coastal forests along the Adriatic shore. This forest growing on ancient sandstone represents a rare ecological remnant from an earlier geological era.

The reserve's name comes from the holm oak, the most representative tree of this coastal forest, though it is not dominant among the other oaks. The forest is a relict of broadleaf woodland, the only one in Abruzzo never replanted, and it borders the Costa dei Trabocchi, where the Punta Le Morge fishing machine stands out.

The reserve stretches from the Sangro river mouth north to the Osento mouth south, reaching 115 m at the hill with the British military cemetery, which a trail links to the woods. The coastal forest borders the Costa dei Trabocchi, with the Punta Le Morge fishing machine nearby. Expect ponds, the remains of Fonte San Nicola and patches of steppe-like ground along the way.

The reserve's symbol is the Hermann's tortoise, the only place in Abruzzo where it lives in the wild. The forest also shelters 60 recorded bird species and 232 species of moths and butterflies, among them the bee-eater and the black stork over the Sangro mouth.
