The Environment and Resources Authority (ERA) has published – Guidelines for Good Forestation Practices in the Maltese Islands – which it said, is to “support successful, eco-friendly forestation in both urban and rural areas.”
This publication is aimed at entities including government bodies, private organisations, local councils, businesses, and individuals, these guidelines promote sustainable planting, suitable species selection and long-term maintenance.
The ERA advised that these guidelines should be followed from the inception of any planting initiative to ensure project success and “could be incorporated into the ERA’s permitting process for enforcement.”
