Redevelopment of Villa Ada's plant heritage
Implementing party
Project description
The redevelopment project includes several operations, such as vegetation clearing, the restoration of avenues, the maintenance of forestry areas, and the construction of elevated walkways to ensure access for people with mobility difficulties or strollers. Additionally, outdoor educational spaces will be created. In addition, new native trees will be planted to promote biodiversity and enhance the resilience of forests against pest infestations.
The maintenance of forestry areas aims to protect valuable trees and manage weedy vegetation, through care, deep fertilisation and endotherapy. Thanks to Green Spaces, the new tool for managing the city's tree heritage, a georeferenced census has been carried out, along with approximately 5,000 VTA (tree stability assessment) tests. Additionally, the canal fed by the Acquedotto Vergine in the valley between Colle Roccolo and Colle Cavalle Madri has been restored. Originally designed as an English-style park, this area has now been cleared of the brambles that once covered it. The canal, which provides drinking water, is a strategic point for migratory birds, offering them a valuable staging area with clean water within the city.
