What is a Tree Champion?

A tree champion is someone who ensures every tree planted thrives!

Given the challenging soil and climate conditions in Gozo, success depends on:

Local Knowledge:
Using proper planting techniques and selecting the right species.

Providing Consistent Care:
Regular watering for at least two years.

Together, we’ll nurture healthy trees and empower you to become a tree champion

Trees are essential for both our environment and our well-being!

Enhance Air Quality:
Improve air circulation, provide natural shade, and help combat air pollution.

Support Health & Learning:
Contribute to better concentration and academic performance by creating healthier surroundings.

Educate & Inspire:
Offer hands-on learning for students about the tree life-cycle, biodiversity, and the impacts of climate change.
