Natural parks
The North Maremma region of Tuscany offers a
harmonious balance of sea, mediterranean forest and of the gentle Tuscan hills cultivated
with vinyards and olive groves.
Here, nature and climate live happily together with the history and the art of the ancient
towns.
The roads and itineraries available entwine themselves with the ancient etruscan and roman
roads.
In the hills the visitor will find lovely medieval towns, castles and churches
Parco costiero della Sterpaia
Here we have a rare and highly-prized humid forest, which was typical of the landscape of the ancient coast of the Maremma. Miraculously surviving deforestation, it was reclaimed by the municipal authority after the unauthorised lotting of the 1970s. Magical scenery through which to wander among ancient oak trees and woodland fauna, over the sandy dunes and down to the sea.
Parco Archeominerario di S.Silvestro
From the Temperino mine, bearing signs of the hard labour of mining, to the medieval castle of Rocca San Silvestro, in a setting where man and nature together have created a landscape of woods and bush concealing traces of ancient mine workings.
Parco naturale di Montioni
Following the trails left by shepherds, hunters, woodcutters and charcoal burners, you wander through a natural environment teeming with a wide variety of wild life. At the heart of this park, traces of man`s passage can be seen in the remains of alum quarries and a mining village of the Napoleonic era built at the behest of Elisa Bonaparte Baciocchi. New facilities are currently being developed to improve access to and enjoyment of the Park.
Parco forestale Poggio Neri
Deer and wild boar roam freely in these unspoilt forests of chestnut, cork and holm oak trees - a whole realm of greenery. Nearby, the old village of Sassetta clings to the sides of a high knoll overlooking the valley.
Parco archeologico Baratti e Populonia
The green-clad promontory and the gently curved line of the gulf are the
setting for the remains of an Etruscan town. The monumental Necropolis
by the seashore, the tombs dug out of the stone of a centuries-old quarry
opening onto woodland 
scenery, tell of the splendours of a civilisation
that prospered on the working of iron brought from the island of Elba.
Parco naturale della Maremma
The territory of the park, marked by the Livorno-Roma railway, stretches along the Tyrrenean coast from Principina a Mare in Alberese to Talamone. Meaningful geographical elements are the last part of the river Ombrone, the orographic system of "monti dell'Uccellina" (Uccellina mountains), which reaches 417 metres at Poggio Lecci, the marsh area of "Trappola" and the kind of coast, sometimes sandy and sometimes with steep cliffs.
Oasi naturale di Bolgheri
As Fulco Pratesi (Italy's World Wildlife Fund president) wrote in
1984:
" In the beginning there was Bolgheri. Then came Italian WWF."
In 1959 Mario Incisa della Rocchetta made the decision to turn 60
hectares of wetlands and the surrounding 453 hectares of pasture and
farmland into Italy’s first private bird sanctuary. In 1966
it became Italy’s first bird sanctuary along with the Oasi of
Burano. That same year, the Marquis Incisa, with Fulco Pratesi, founded
the Italian WWF.
Parco Scornabecchi
Montescudaio (Pi). Montescudaio (Pi). Il parco naturale dello Scornabecchi è una piccola oasi naturale nel comune di Montescudaio in provincia di Pisa. Attrezzato per passeggiate e soste in un ambiente ancora intatto.
