In an agreement reached between The Alfred Mizzi Foundation and Heritage Parks Federation (made up of Din l-Art Ħelwa, The Gaia Foundation and Nature Trust to facilitate the integrated management of Majjistral Park), the Foundation has planted over 1000 trees and shrubs at the Majjistral Park Nature Reserve. Scores of employees from various companies within the AMS Group actively participated in the cleaning of the land and planting processes. The sponsorship which totals €30,000, covers costs for the purchase of saplings, the irrigation system, and the maintenance and supply of water until the plants reach the required stage of maturity.
A spokesperson from The Alfred Mizzi Foundation stressed that whilst in past years the Foundation has supported with similar programmes, due to the current climate and environmental crisis, it will be focusing more of its resources to green initiatives like tree planting. This agreement follows a similar one with Fondazzjoni Wirt Artna where, with the help of Ambjent Malta, a few hundred trees were planted within the grounds of Fort Rinella, and also in the area surrounding the Tarxien Neolithic Temples.
