The forest areas of Pedra Bianca and Mount Nieddu, with breathtaking scenery and superb biodiversity (flora and fauna) within in a network of forest roads that promote hiking: to reach the hamlets of Padru (OT) and Torpè (NU) as well as the state forest of Monte Nieddu.
The Regional Natural Park of Tepilora, Sant'Anna and Rio Posada (in the process of being established): initially referred to as "Tepilora Regional Natural Park", the park owes its current name to the decision to extend the original boundaries to also include the territories bordering the Rio Posada.

The Forestry Authority of Sardinia operates in this area, and is directly responsible, in various capacities, for the management of almost the entire forest.
