Description
Over time, environmental improvements have been carried out that have involved the enlargement of the pre-existing body of water in the eastern part of the protected area, the renaturalisation of part of the tributary and the outflow, the construction of protective barriers, and the planting of shrubs and trees on the edges of the biotope
The nature reserve presents itself as a marshy area predominantly occupied by reeds; the expanse of marsh reeds (Phragmites australis) is dotted here and there with willow bushes (Salix sp.). In the north-eastern portion, there is a small pond, while a few large pools are hidden among the dense vegetation.
The interest of the biotope is motivated above all by its role with regard to avifauna. Here, in fact, a truly large number of birds have been found to breed, many of which are characterised by great rarity at provincial level.
Among these are the little grebe (Tachybaptis ruficollis), the water rail (Rallus aquaticus) and the reed warbler (Acrocephalus scirpaceus).
In addition, the Palù di Tuenno is an important resting, refuge and feeding area for migratory birds, being one of the very few natural wetlands in the entire middle and lower Non Valley.
