Porporana wood
The reserve extends for 12 hectares near Porporana and is part of the Po riverside environment.
Poplars grow in this area, which is divided into two parts: "Bosco Vecchio" (Old wood), on the highest terrace on the flood plain, and "Bosco Nuovo" (New wood), with its black poplars and willows. A great variety of animals lives in the Wood.
The wood and the flood plain are nowadays used for didactic tourism. Every year, in june, it is possible to admire glow-worms in the wood, during the night event "Le Lucciole nel bosco".
