Manna production still exists in a limited area of "Madonie" mountain, around the villages of Pollina and Castelbuono in the province of Palermo. Manna is a natural product, obtained from harvest of two different species of Ash Tree, Fraxinus ornus and Fraxinus angustifolia, by incision of their stems. It has been utilised for centuries for its various officinal properties. In the last decades Manna Ash Tree cultivation has been going through a deep crisis, due to a lack of generation replacement, to a supply which is inadequate to satisfy the demand of a market deeply oriented to quality production and, in the end, due to a lack of attention by public administration. Nevertheless, the cultivation of the Manna Ash Tree ought to be preserved because of its environmental significance: the activity is a barrier against territorial and landscape deterioration in the "Madonie". But putting aside this important role played by this tree in the "Madonie" environment, the importance of its product is apparent for its uses in medicinal, food and cosmetic fields. The demand of Manna for several uses in these sectors indicates potentially good perspectives for an economic revival of the cultivation. This paper aims to provide a contribution to the recognition of the role which this sector might play in the Madonie area in avoiding the loss of a unique woodland heritage as to landscape, economic and human value.
