South of Arzignano, along the border with Montorso, the ridge of San Marcello salt to the "Monte Galda" above is covered with forests. This is a mixed formation of chestnut, maple, locust and oak trees, which is strongly influenced by the microclimate and soil conditions. In the top of the ridge, the forest affected by aridity and does not grow much in height, kept at bay by the numerous hunters that use the pitch for 'hunting lodge or "dovecote" climb on unstable lattice of iron and wood. The north is cooler and the plants can grow vigorously. The south and the east side instead are more arid, but there is already talk of the town of Montorso, with low and sparse vegetation. Some beautiful trees near San Marcello, maple, chestnut and alder trees of significant landscape interest.
The opening of a strip of land which must have been previously occupied by the forest through the fields lends itself to easy erosion for the passage of heavy tractors. Man has altered the band closest to the fields, with the introduction of less valuable species, black locust and white poplar grown wild, fortunately had only the bottom of the slope. The cutting of wood on top of a hill instead has encouraged the establishment of an impenetrable blanket of brambles, good only to hide the hunters that open up in the midst of their hunting trails. The bush over the years will enrich the soil and in ten or twenty years the forest will return to peep, unless you let it grow.
