The Natural Reserve Valle dei Casali extends between the districts of Monteverde, Bravetta and Trullo, and borders in part on Villa Pamphilj. The landscape consists of a plateau which slopes down towards the Tiber, with a series of hillocks; in addition to the river, it is crossed by numerous water ditches, including that of Affogalasino.

From a naturalistic point of view, the most widespread vegetation in the area is represented by species such as oaks, maples, elms and brooms, reeds, some herbaceous such as Compositae, grasses and legumes, whereas, in the humid environments there are willow woods and poplars. The fauna includes mainly of birds, such as the kestrel, the barn owl, the skylark, the owl, the bee-eater, the swallow, the shrike. The reserve is mostly farming and grazing land; in fact, it is occupied in considerable part by vast agricultural areas.
