The National Park of Gran Sasso-Laga Flora and natural environments
The woods are
essentially made up of beech along with, even though more
rarely, holly, maples of different species, mountain and fowler sorbs, cherry
trees, wild
apple and pear trees, yew trees. A special mention must be made of the small woods of
white fir trees (Selva di Cortino, Bosco Martese ) remainders of the old mixed gathering
of fir trees and beeches of the Apennine.
The
undergrowth is crowded with a large number of anemone, ranunculi, red lilies and
martagons, with belladonna, raspberry bushes and many species more; the
glades are brightened up by the colours of the different species of wild orchids while the
high grasslands are characterized by the presence of a moorland of black
bilberry. On the
Laga there are also large extensions of chestnut woods, quite unusual in our
region.
