MOUNTAINSIDE – Students Explore Alpine Plant Biodiversity on Mount Arera

The field-based educational experience continues for students enrolled in the English-taught Master’s Degree Program “Valorization and Sustainable Development of Mountain Areas” – MOUNTAINSIDE, promoted by UNIMONT, the Alpine hub of the University of Milan.

In recent days, students from the Master’s Degree Program “Valorization and Sustainable Development of Mountain Areas” – MOUNTAINSIDE took part in a field trip to Mount Arera (BG), as part of the course “Mountain Ecosystems and Biodiversity Valorisation”, taught by Professor Simon Pierce. The activity offered a valuable opportunity to directly observe the extraordinary variety of plant species that characterize alpine habitats, strengthening theoretical knowledge through hands-on field experience.
