Site description (2000 baseline):
Site location and context
A large pre-Alpine area, part of the Prealpi Venete, north of the town of Bassano del Grappa. Large areas of broadleaved woodland and pasture dominate the site.
The site is important for breeding
Crex crex, and is also a `bottleneck' site for migrating raptors in spring, especially
Pernis apivorus (3,000-3,500 per season).
Pressure/threats to key biodiversity
The abandonment of pastures, with consequent natural reforestation, and the early cutting of grass are the main threats for
Crex crex.
National None
International None
