Oasi Dynamo promotes scientific research and environmental education, offering a unique setting for primary and secondary schools and universities. Educational initiatives include guided excursions, WWF summer camps with activities such as trekking and nature workshops, as well as workshops for university students.
The reserve also hosts innovative research projects for the monitoring and conservation of species of community interest, such as the monitoring of the Apennine wolf and the study of the Red-backed Shrike, in collaboration with prestigious organisations such as CNR and ISPRA. Thanks to advanced techniques such as photo-trapping and scientific ringing, the Oasis contributes to increasing knowledge of protected species and ecosystems. Since 2022, the Oasis has hosted the annual meeting of the National Geographic Explorers, an event that brings together researchers from all over the world to share studies, participate in training sessions and promote innovative solutions for environmental conservation. This synergy between education and research reinforces the Oasis' role as a reference point for the protection of natural heritage.
Oasyhotel is a hospitality project located in the heart of Tuscany, within the Oasi Dynamo Nature Reserve, affiliated with the WWF. The Reserve covers approximately 1,000 hectares of mainly woodland and is a true natural sanctuary, home to extraordinary biodiversity including wolves, deer, and numerous plant species typical of the Pistoia area.
Oasyhotel is the first facility in Italy created as part of a project dedicated to the creation of accommodation areas within WWF-affiliated oases. It is a new concept of hospitality that enhances the value of the locations, offering authentic and exclusive experiences where guests can immerse themselves completely in the benefits of nature. Strategically located near Florence and Pisa, it is the ideal destination for those who want to combine culture and landscape and experience Tuscany away from mass tourism.
The structure consists of 16 wooden eco-lodges and a loft, designed to ensure maximum comfort while respecting the environment. The large windows and panoramic verandas allow continuity with the surrounding landscape. Thanks to the richness of the Reserve, Oasyhotel offers numerous outdoor and wellness activities: trekking, mountain biking, kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, horseback riding, yoga, forest bathing, and historical-cultural tours. Guided excursions also allow guests to observe wildlife in its protected natural habitat.
The Reserve's mission is to conserve biodiversity, supported by scientific research and agricultural activities managed by Oasi Dynamo, which supplies the restaurant with locally sourced products. Sustainability is at the heart of the project's philosophy, which is expressed through the production of renewable energy, waste reduction, and initiatives to promote ecological balance, in which guests can participate.
