Centro visita del lupo di Impianezza

The wolf visitor centre at Impianezza developed within the Monte Corvo forestry estate above Popoli Terme. Its educational project connects the Apennine wolf with the wider ecology of the Morrone landscape.

Why it matters

The centre’s approach places the predator within a food web rather than treating it as an isolated attraction. The history of the surrounding estate also links wildlife education with woodland management and livestock farming.

What to notice

The educational layout was organised around a progression from prey animals to wolves. Descriptions of the project include enclosures for deer and other ungulates, alongside aviaries for native birds of prey.

Context and history

The Monte Corvo estate passed into state forestry management in the mid-1960s. The wolf centre was inaugurated in the summer of 2003, adding wildlife education to an established forestry and agricultural complex. It is distinct from the wolf area at Pretoro, another facility in the Majella territory.
