Vegetation

The vegetation in this area is typically sub-Mediterranean and the landscape alternates between arable land with grassland and with forest vegetation as a reflection of the different type of soil and climate. The forests are dominated by deciduous species including oak, ash tree and sweet chestnut. In the areas located on the edges of the exploitation fields, ruderal vegetation typical of the habitats near the quarry has developed, such as rosemary-leaved cypress (Epilobium dodonaei) and large plantain (Plantago major). The forest vegetation along the slopes of the Raša canyon is characterized by medium-high vegetation and bushes, and low trees.

It is also important to mention the park in Nedešćina, which is located around the former Villa Furlani, today the Home for Adults "Sv. Nedelja", which has a unique plant inventory and was declared a monument of park architecture back in 1974.

Although the park is currently quite neglected, it is still home to interesting plant species such as: laurel (Laurus nobilis), Lebanese cedar (Cedrus libani), paulownia (Paulownia tomentosa), cypress (Cupressus sempervirens), acacia (Robinia pseudacacia), wild chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum), black pine (Pinus nigra), Judas tree (Cercis siliquastrum), elm (Ulmus), Greek fir (Abies pinsapo), yew (Taxus baccata), white poplar (Populus alba), hornbeam (Carpinus orientalis) , hornbeam (Ostrya carpinifolia), sycamore (Platanus orientalis),and oak (Quercus pubescens).
