Riserva naturale regionale orientata Bosco di Cerano, Regional nature reserve in Brindisi and San Pietro Vernotico, Italy.
Bosco di Cerano is a protected forest covering roughly 1,158 hectares between Brindisi and San Pietro Vernotico. The woodland stretches along a waterway and contains Mediterranean scrub and holm oak forests near the Adriatic coast.
The reserve was established in December 2002 to protect the remaining coastal woodland from further industrial development. This step responded to decades of expansion that had already reduced the original forest coverage.
The woodland takes its name from local history and remains important to birdwatchers who come to observe species that pass through or settle here. Visitors can explore the habitats where migratory birds stop and where resident species make their homes.
Wear sturdy shoes when exploring, as paths wind through dense woodland and the ground can be wet after rain. Early morning or late afternoon visits offer the best chances to spot wildlife when animals are most active.
Special microclimatic conditions allow field elm and black hornbeam trees to grow here alongside typical Mediterranean plants. This uncommon mixture makes the area botanically interesting in ways many visitors overlook.
