That’s a good news. Any major land restoration and rehabilitation is welcome in Malta.
🚿 💧 watering.
If it doesn’t rain enough, we will need to resume watering activities.
Siġar doesn’t just plant trees. We make sure that each tree is watered properly afterwards by pupils, volunteers or irrigation system.💪
Great day with pupils from Gozo College Dun Salv Vella Nadur Primary.
We planted 6 trees (2 figs, 2 pomegranates, 1 almond and 1 Rhamnus) on school ground with EkoSkola Nature Trust – FEE Malta group.
Kids, teachers and volunteers had a great time.
Thumbs up.
Next steps. Pupils will provide 20 liters of water per tree per week.

Purchased 4 hoes for next planting event.
With the kind support of The Alfred Mizzi Foundation.
Ready to plant if weather holds on Friday!
The first tree we planted was an oak tree. It wasn’t by choice but it was the right tree to plant at Ta’Kenuna tower.
The tree was well looked after by Maurice Stirling over the last 12 months. New growth showing.
The oak tree is a slow growing tree. Life expectancy is over 100-200 years. So this tree will still be around well into the 22nd century and beyond.
Looking forward d to season 2 starting this week.
Nadur Local Council
Well done.
