It is a lovely natural site of about 10 hectares. It is there to protect the last wildlife remains representative of what at one time used to occupy the entire coastal strip of Rio de la Plata. There is a great variety of plants and wild animals, many of which can be appreciated in their natural environment by the visitors that travel through the interpretative path. The reserve exists to conserve this rich native flora and fauna. The protected area belongs to the Municipality of San Isidro. Ribera Norte Association is in charge of care and control of the land. The Association carries out a very important task in order to reach the objectives and insure the appropriate use and conservation of the reserve. One of the priorities of Ribera Norte is the preservation of local wildlife. Because there are no similar land sites left on the whole riberena coast, without the existence of Ribera Norte many species would surely not be alive in San Isidro. The reserve also has an important educational function, welcoming a great number of scholastic contingents throughout the year. It is during these visits that many young people experience their first contact with nature.
