Foppa is a wetland near the Olona river that flooded naturally. Here the water that irrigated the meadows once accumulated. Today the Foppa is fed with river water. Foppa, the nearby meadows and woods are ideal habitats for fauna.
Since 2009 the municipality of San Vittore Olona in collaboration with the Olona Viva association, the Olona River Consortium and the Parco dei Mulini has restored the wetland area from "La Foppa". Foppa is fed with water from the Olona river through the Bellona canal. Today this body of water and the surrounding green areas, a forest and a meadow are home to a rich biodiversity of fauna and flora.
In this area LIPU has spotted 90 different species of birds. A small wetland area like Foppa is of fundamental importance for migratory species that travel thousands of kilometers twice a year to return to breed or to winter; and sometimes they stop to feed in this very place.
Not just birds.
At Foppa there are also fish and other animals that feed on the eggs and larvae of aquatic insects; that's why there are so few mosquitoes!
