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

Nice day out. Plenty of sea Aquila, crocus and narcisses but no orchids yet.
Siġar is happy to help Wild for Orchids Community Malta with field work.
We will come again in January.

Maintenance work Nadur Local Council Belvedere. Shrubs have made it through the summer thanks to ongoing watering.
Holes reshaped. Mulch replenished. Laid over cardboard to keep weeds out.
Well done Maurice Stirling

We have received an update from Victoria Scout Group.
Trees planted on their roof are doing well. One olive tree has died but the rest are in great shape. Watering / irrigation is a key part of that.
We will move trees to larger pots and replant the olive tree.
Well done !

Judas trees in good shape in Qala. Volunteers are looking after sites where irrigation can’t be installed.
Thank you!
