The Don Venanzio wood takes its name from the last owner who, in 1986, sold it to the Municipality of Pollutri. Its extension is about 78 hectares and represents one of the last strips of plain forest on the Adriatic coast, fully protected since 1999 with the establishment of the Reserve. It develops along the lower course of the Sinello river, in the municipality of Pollutri (Ch), in the locality of Crivelle, between the SS.16 Adriatica, the provincial road for Scerni and the Sinello river. The entrance is located about one km. from the Vasto Nord - Casalbordino exit of the A14, towards Gissi. The whole area is fully protected; from the only internal avenue equipped paths branch off which allow, with the help of guides, to go into the woods and reach suggestive corners. The climate of the forest is Mediterranean. The most important tree species are the white poplar, the black poplar, the downy oak, the Turkey oak, the English oak. There are specimens of trees that reach almost 25 meters in height. Among the shrubs we remember the Ivy, the Sanguinello and the Corniolo. In the undergrowth the Apennine Anemone, Pungitopo and Red Lily grow. In the waters of the Sinello river there are Buttercups, Water Celery, Watercress. The fauna is represented by various migratory birds, foxes, badgers, moles and hedgehogs.

Pollutri can boast the presence, in its territory, of the Don Venanzio forest: a delicate and precious, as well as rare, example of a plain forest, towards which scientists and ecologists have turned their attention, in fact the Don Venanzio forest is one of the last strips of lowland forest on the Adriatic coast. Unfortunately what we can see today is nothing more than what remains of a much larger and more extensive forest near the Sinello river.
