Bosco Grande nature reserve

The Bosco Grande covers an area of about 22 hectares southwest of Pavia, it represents one of the last remnants of that lowland forest that in past times entirely covered the Po Valley and of which an important testimony remains in the Ticino Park. Like other natural reserves of the plain, its conservation derives from the fact that it was a hunting reserve: in 1968 Giuseppe Negri, a lamber dealer passionate about nature, left the park as an inheritance to the municipality has collaborated with the municipality, thanks to a special agreement, in the management of the park, organizing with the collaboration of naturalists specialized in education environmental educational initiatives aimed at learning about the natural world, including through play.
A didactic path has been created inside the wood, enriched with arrows and explanatory panels, but, in order not to spoil the natural balance of the place and the rich fauna, it can only be accessed during guided tours.
