Its slopes currently host more than 2330 hectares of Mediterranean coniferous forests, extending into the territories of Buccheri, Buscemi, Chiaramonte Gulfi, Ferla, Giarratana, Licodia Eubea, Monterosso Almo, Vizzini, and Carlentini. Many rivers originate there, including the 'Ánapo,[1] Dirillo, and Irminio.
Mount Lauro's name apparently derives from the Latin laurus (laurel), as in the past many laurel trees grew there.
Due to the fact that it is the highest mountain in the area, numerous radio and television transmitters are located near its peaks.
