Monza and Brianza - Natural Parks and Reserves
The Monza and Brianza parks network is modelled along the lines of other European parks systems in which diverse institutions pool together to promote the culture and natural resources of their territory.
This network aims to map all the environmental resources and cultural initiatives promoted by 
these institutions; provide a single access to parks and nature reserves, and supply user-friendly guides for tourists and nature lovers.
In these pages on parks you will get lots of information (to be studied in detail on the parks individual websites) to help plan your hikes, horseback rides, or bicycle tours - and participate in sporting events, environmental education activities, flora and fauna observation organized by various institutions and associations.
