Objective
The project involves the reforestation of the entire available area with trees and shrubs. In particular, the shrub component will be placed along the outer sections to the north, south, and east, since a wooded area already exists on the western side. This arrangement will prevent any future interference with adjacent properties.
Villa Cortese
The intervention, designed and carried out in collaboration with Cooperativa Officina, involved the creation of a new wooded area with 238 trees and 279 shrubs, in continuity with the existing interventions. Among the main species planted are English oak, Turkey oak, hornbeam, wild cherry, field maple, small-leaved lime, European ash, and southern ash. Shrub species such as hairy honeysuckle, European spindle, common privet, and viburnum will also grow here.
