The woods of holm-oaks
|
The green landscape
As we already said, the green borders the roads to the
town and the areas around the town. There are prevalently
cork-oaks, holm-oaks, and the durmasts, while junipers
can be found on the upper part around the Mount Lerno.
Another important element
and very characteristic one of the side facing the
Goceano is the holly. Along the flows of water or in the
areas of wells there are poplar trees, offering visitors
a beautiful and colourful view in fall. For over 50 years
the whole Commune has been object of forestal
interventions. Thus, above all in the southern part, the
soil has been enriched with stone-pine trees. During the
last years the Communal Administration and the Forestry
have intensified their action with large terraces planted
with cluster-pine, knowingly drawn near the Meditteranean
maquis. A particular characteristic of these
interventions is represented by a wood of black-pine
which has reached 50 years of life by now and crowns the
peak of Mount Lerno together with
chestnuts, marples and the cedar of Atlas.
