The three intervention areas were visited: the area of Pietracamela was found rich in yews with some hollies too, the general structure being an old coppice with scattered senescing beech trees; in the area of Intermesoli, mapped as the habitat 9210, also silver fir was found; also in the area of Incodaro the three species were found but Abies alba was the most abundant only partly due to past planting by the State Forestry Corps (CFS).
