Discover more about Oasi San Felice, affiliata WWF - Una proprietà Allianz

Oasi San Felice, affiliated with the WWF and under the ownership of Allianz, is a coastal oasis near Marina di Grosseto. Established in 2007, this 50-hectare area aims to preserve a precious stretch of the Maremma coastline, creating a haven for biodiversity. The oasis features a variety of habitats. The maritime pine forest, planted nearly two centuries ago by the Grand Dukes of Tuscany to combat malaria, dominates the landscape. This pine forest protects an inner section of stone pine, which is commercially valuable. The undergrowth thrives with Mediterranean essences and diverse birdlife. The dune environment, characterized by pioneer vegetation, stabilizes the dunes and shields the inland from salty winds. The Fiumara, a man-made lake environment, supports fish and aquatic birds. Visitors can explore the oasis via a circular nature trail with educational panels and a bike path. The oasis is a prime location for birdwatching, especially during migration seasons. The marine jay is the symbol of the Oasis, nesting thanks to the nest boxes affixed by WWF volunteers. School groups frequently visit for guided tours and educational activities focused on climate change.
