Bosco Olmè (which unequivocally recalls the "ab antiquo" presence of numerous elm trees) is a natural wood, which was produced and perpetuated spontaneously, essentially consisting of white willow, hornbeam, oak, elm, maple and ash. Among the shrubs the elder, the viburnum, the hazelnut and the privet. It is characterized by a rich undergrowth made up of numerous herbaceous species: nettle, parietaria, ranunculus, dog rose, clover, violet, ivy, primrose, campanula, valerian, yarrow and dandelion.
This strip of ancient forest is also home to a large number of mammals, which have found refuge there from the surrounding countryside: the hedgehog, the mole, the shrew, the hare, the weasel, the skunk and the stone marten. To date, with its 28 hectares, it is the largest wood, approachable to climatic formations, of the Venetian Plain; it has been documented in Venetian cartography since the 17th century.
