RISERVA NATURALE dei CANNETI di DORMELLETTO

This area, 157 ha. of cane thicket on the south-west shore of Maggiore Lake, is important for the fauna. It represents one of the last examples in the Novara province, with also the Piana di Fondotoce, of a transition zone between land and water to a prevalent spontaneous vegetation made up of cane fields. The importance of this presence is given to the fundamental ecologic function carried out by the cane field environment. In regulating water levels, depuration and absorption balanced by substances, even harmful, put in the water. Particularly important are the nearby wood zones and common reed fields for the building of a fundamental habitat for the nest builders and the wintering of numerous ornithological species.
