The Parco delle Groane e della Brughiera Briantea ("Park of the Groane and Brianza moorland") is a

Po Plain northwest of Milan (between 160 and 300 meters above sea level), across the territory of 28 municipalities in the provinces of Milan, Como and Monza.[1][2]

The park was originally called Parco delle Groane and had an area of 3,695 hectares, but grew to over 8,200 in December 2017, when it absorbed the former PLIS Parco della Brughiera Briantea and the Fontana del Guercio Natural Reserve.[3]

About one quarter of the park's area is covered in woods, mostly

farmland.[4][5]
