Ischia di Sopra

Local reserve

Riparian woodland with willows along the River Sarca, just north of the village of Dro.

The reserve is one of the protected areas that make up the Sarca River Park.

Description

This is a protected area of floodplain type, i.e. a stretch included between the bank of the watercourse and its embankment that is not well connected to the river due to the incision of the Sarca riverbed.

The area is largely covered by a dense, relatively well-preserved arboreal willow grove.

This reserve identifies and safeguards one of the last surviving floodplain areas along the lower course of the Sarca.

Additional information

Sarca River Park

Located in south-eastern Trentino, the territory of the River Park covers the course of the Sarca river, along its entire 80 km: an ecological corridor that connects Lake Garda to the Adamello-Brenta Natural Park, through minor protected areas.
It encompasses 27 protected areas including Natura 2000 sites, nature reserves and local areas, with very different habitats that build an important mosaic of biodiversity: many species of flora and fauna are found here, the only one in the whole of Trentino.

Parco Fluviale della Sarca is the new name of the Sarca Network of Reserves, created in 2019 following the merger of the two Networks of Reserves Sarca Basso Corso (established in 2012) and Sarca Alto Corso (established in 2013).
The leader of the River Park, which covers the territory of no less than 27 municipalities, is the BIM del Sarca.
