Reserve on the confluence of the river Po and the Orco and Malone streams. The area features gravel and sand islets, beaches, shrubland and woodland.
The Confluenza Po - Orco - Malone is a protected area and part of the Natura 2000 network. The area covers approximately 312 hectares and fosters a variety of plant and animal species of wetlands and wooded areas. The waters of the Orco and Malone streams are of high quality, as they originate from the Alps of Canavese and are relatively unpolluted.
Despite the presence of roads, highways, and railroads nearby, the Confluenza Po - Orco - Malone maintains a fairly high degree of natural integrity. Over 80 species of birds have been recorded throughout the year, mostly consisting of songbirds, waterfowl, and shorebirds. Its relatively small area makes it less dispersive and easier to spot species of personal interest.
The Confluenza Po - Orco - Malone is located in the Piemonte region, specifically between the towns of Brandizzo and Chivasso. The area is accessible from both sides of the river. The north side can be reached on foot from the nearby Bricel Park and Sabiunè Park. The south side can be reached from Chivasso or Brandizzo, with a parking lot near the bridge over the Orco river.
The area is best explored on foot, especially for photographic purposes, but it can also be a nice bike ride.
The Municipality of Chivasso has recently promoted a project called "Environmental enhancement and implementation of biodiversity in the Sabiunè Park", which has been approved by a regional grant and aims to reduce the artificiality of surfaces through naturalistic restoration, contain invasive alien species, increase biodiversity both punctually and through the restoration of habitats such as wetlands, and finally create locally important footpaths and educational/training trails.
