The chestnut forest provides an important ecological niche for certain animal and plant species. Marcello Negrini, a retired forest ranger, accompanies us on a hike from Plazza to Brentan.
The Bergell Valley boasts a variety of flowers, plants, and wildlife. A study by the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research (WSL) has shown that managed chestnut forests are crucial for biodiversity. We will visit these places and appreciate the insights provided by the foresters.
