BALLAD FOR A TREE event -The Importance of Monumental Trees- which was held  at the University Campus of Matera.

Monumental trees can be characterized by by high biological and ecological value (age, size, morphology, rarity of the species, habitat for some animal species), historical, cultural and religious relevance in specific territorial contexts, close connection with architectural landmarks, and significant impact on the landscape in both aesthetic and identity terms. 

Partecipation at SISEF Congress - Italian Society of Silviculture and Forest Ecology “Forests for the future” held in Padua.

The National Congress represents the meeting and discussion place for the researchers and experts in the forestry sector, working to outline a sustainable future for forests and society
