Tappino Torrent Richetta Hill

The area falls in Central Molise, within the Fortore hydrographic basin, including the confluence area between the T. Tappino and T. Fiumarello. The landscape that characterises the site is hilly and sometimes mountainous, with the presence of watercourses. The fauna is typical of woodland environments, with the presence of some species of Community interest. The vegetation along the Tappino stream is fluvial, characterised by white willow woods; where there is a majority of soil, there is potential for white oak woods with a prevalence of xerophilous perennial grasslands. Among the most unusual species are the American walnut and the Stipa Austro italica, which is threatened throughout the territory by agricultural activities.
