On Arbor Day in Gozo, a number of trees and shrubs were planted at the Hamrija playing field in Xewkija complementing the upgrade work which was carried out on by the Xewkija Local Council.

The trees were planted by the students who attend the Gozo College Rosa Magro Xewkija Primary.

The event was attended by the Minister for Gozo and Planning Clint Camilleri.

During a special activity, the students were also given information about plants and trees and had the opportunity plant some smaller potted plants.

The Minister appealed to everyone who makes use of the public spaces available, “does so with full respect for the environment and the present facilities so that they can be enjoyed by all.”
