All over the area surrounding the Udine Golf Course, tradition and culture have contributed to maintain an unimpaired territory which is devoted to agricolture, and where there are several naturalistic areas with the reintegration of animal species that were present here in the past (e.g. White storks and Ibis in the Natural Reserve of Fagagna and Griffons in the Natural Reserve of Cornino). The territory of the resurgences from Southern Friuli to the mountains of Carnia is protected as well, with all its rivers and lakes (e.g. Cornino Lake and the Lakes of Fusine). Besides, in the region, for years there has been a lot of work for the reintroduction of autochthonous tree species supplied by the Forest Rangers.
