F.A.B. - Flora Alpina Bergamasca

THE HISTORY OF F.A.B. (Contact us )

FLORA ALPINA BERGAMASCA - was established on October 1987. It is a non profit organization acknowledged by law, putting together scholars, experienced persons and people deeply interested in wild flora of Bergamo Province.
The aims are:

To back knowledge, study and safeguard of Bergamo Province flora and flora environment

To gather, classify and popularize data and information about flora species spreading in Bergamo Province

To rise respect about environment, give due value to the outstanding richness of Bergamo Province flora and biodiversity

The doings are:

In order to carry out the “Vascular Plant Spreading Atlas” F.A.B. members provide voluntary service gathering data and information about flora species

In a joint effort with Bergamo Province Local Authorities the volumes: “Wild orchids of Bergamo Province”, “Wild flora of Bergamo Province” and “Bergamo Province nature” have been published

To reach our goals we regularly cooperate with various universities, naturalist associations and local Authorities

Six monthly we publish the “F.A.B. flora bulletin”. It reads botanical news, naturalist news and F.A.B. doings.

Please read all the pages of this website so that you will be informed about all our next events.
