OLIVE
TREES
IN
APULIA
The State Forestry corps alvays protects the forest
of olive trees in Apulia, the largest national olive
heritage.
The Apulia region preserves about one third of the
National olive heritage. The olive in this territory
often assumes majestic proportions and forms the
characteristic element of the Apulian landscape,
representing a value that needs care and
protection.
The Corpo forestale dello Stato throughout its
history has been continuously committed on the
Apulian territory to obstruct thefts and the illegal
destruction of olive trees, as well as the irregular
transferring over region of centuries-old trees.
