Dedicated to greening
Gozo by:
planting the right tree,
in the right place,
the right way
Siġar (which means ‘trees’ in Maltese) is committed to planting young trees on school grounds and local council lands with plants nurtured from local seeds from the Gozo Plant Nursery and Experimental Farm.

Tree Planting Project at Nadur Primary School – January 2025
Collaborating with Communities for a Greener Gozo
With less than 2% forest cover in Malta, Siġar is committed to enriching Gozo’s landscapes through sustainable tree planting. Our projects will complement other larger afforestation initiatives by focusing on urban areas.
By planting the right tree, in place, in the right way, Siġar will seed and share best practices with its volunteers and members of the public

Glad to get Victoria Scout Group roof pocket forest project completed.
Today, Scout leader and Siġar volunteer have installed a proper irrigation system (with a timer) so the 10 trees planted on Scouts building grow and thrive.
Trees will be look after by Cubs.
Next year: we will move them into bigger pots.
Great collaboration Victoria Scouts & Siġar.
Well done to all.
