Project summary
Edit project overview to modify the project summary.
The river Toce in the Alps is the next largest tributary of Lake Maggiore after the river Ticino. It is a very important site for nesting birds and especially migrating birds including priority species, such as the corncrake (Crex crex). The Toce fulfils a vital role as an ecological corridor across the Alps during bird migration.
The project aimed to help the conservation, rehabilitation and extension of the river and riverbank habitats along a stretch of the river Toce downstream Domodossola.
The project achieved some relevant results such as the creation of an area with different water levels down to a maximum depth of 1 m, thus favouring amphibians and birds in the locality of Prata (Municipality of Vogogna); the reduction of the presence of invasive exotic trees and shrubs in termophilous shrub habitats; the maintenance of suitable habitat for nesting birds in the lowland hay meadows through specific management intervention consisting in mowing; the creation of new alluvial forests.
Monitoring surveys and results
Edit project overview to modify the Monitoring survey and results.
The results of the monitoring survey started in 2003 revealed an increase of some bird species using the restored habitats as nesting, feeding and hunting (raptors) areas as a positive consequence of the interventions, especially in the lowland hay meadows and in the dry scrublands.
