The Teixeira is a river presenting a degree of conservation and ecological value superior to the other rivers of Baião. It runs gently through the steep slopes accompanied by the clumps on the riverbanks and other exuberant plants, such as royal fern. In addition to the Arion ater slug, which is easily spotted due to its large size and dark colouring, you can also find a variety of dragonflies patrolling the surface of the river, such as the golden-ringed dragonfly and the “beautiful demoiselle”, which is usually found over the vegetation.
