Description
Quinta do Pisão – Parque de Natureza is a landscape-scale conservation initiative in 380 ha of abandoned area of forest and agricultural land in the Sintre-Cascais National Park. They want to improve its value for wildlife and its attractiveness to visitors. As part of this initiative the project has: created walking trails that channel access away from sensitive areas; restored and managed meadows, riparian forests and ponds; planted native trees, shrubs and hedgerows; controlled invasive species; introduced endangered sheep and donkey breeds; restored old farm buildings; and built a visitors’ centre. Birding is great here. In the meadows and forest many interesting birds like European Turtle Dove, Red-legged Partridge, Cirl Bunting, Corn Bunting, Dartford Warbler, Red-rumped Swallow, Cattle Egret and Woodchat Shrike can be seen. See the birdlist below.
