THE BOSCO DI TECCHIE

In times not so remote a squirrel jumping from one tree to another could cross entire regions covered in thick woods of oak and beech trees. Unfortunately those times are over as man has cleared the forests to get wood and land for agriculture. There are few woodlands which have remained intact and Tecchie is one of these. This wood is like a huge natural botanic garden, alive and flourishing, with large, small, young, old or dead plants. Age-old beech trees live alongside ephemeral plants, miniscule mosses alongside gigantic turkey oaks over thirty metres tall. All of which live together in a complex and graceful harmony.
