View of Lago di Santa Luce
Highlight • Viewpoint
Lake Santa Luce is a habitat of choice for the presence of numerous species of water birds. Important site along the migratory route is a strategic node in the ecological network of the territory. The Reserve has characteristics and potential that make it a site of great importance in the system of provincial and regional protected areas in terms of biodiversity, but also of receptive and functional capacity for wide-ranging environmental education.
Since its inception, the lake has witnessed a rapid spontaneous colonization by marsh vegetation and numerous species of aquatic fauna. Today, perfectly re-naturalized, the lake shines like a precious pearl framed by the green of the willow, tamarisk, poplar and elm groves. The paths that wind along the shores of the lake are enriched by thick tracts of bushes and hedges of bramble, blackthorn, dogwood, hawthorn and dog rose which in spring become, together with gorse, gladioli, muscari, sonchi and wild orchids, the architects of a spectacle of rare beauty. [3]
Today the lake is a regional reserve of Tuscany and a Special Conservation Area (SAC) under the Habitats Directive
The lake was born as the LIPU Oasis of Santa Luce in 1992 from an agreement between the Solvay Company (still owner of the lake) and LIPU
