The woods in Friuli

A wood is an ecosystem altered by human beings made up of woody beings. There are lots of woods of beech trees, birches and pine forests in FVG.

The most important woods’ functions are:

-          PRODUCTIVE

-          PROTECTIVE

-          TOURIST - RECREATIONAL

-          NATURLISTIC and ENVIRONMENTAL

-          HYGIENIC - SANITARY

A forest is the result of the interaction between different ecosystems in a wide area made up of woods. In a forest you can find pastures, freshwater systems and clearings.

Forestry consists in all the possible human interventions to benefit from forests but also to rescue them. Indeed human beings are rarely aware that their behavior (that sometimes isn’t good) affects ecosystems very much and endangers them.

Man needs to compare and study different kinds of animals and plants, that’s why he gives a specific name to every natural range.
