The larch forest
Credit

Description
The larch forest is a typical habitat of the Southern Alps. It is maintained by regular consumption of undergrowth by sheeps. Without this maintenance, it would have slowly and permanently been replaced by pines. This tree is periodically attacked by a butterfly: the larch budmoth. Every 6 years, it transforms green landscapes in autumnal sceneries. Rest assured, after consumption of the bases of the needles, the larches recover their soft colours, this year or the next.
