As part of the monthly series of cultural talks organised by Din l-Art Helwa, Annalise Falzon, Communications Officer for the Majjistral Heritage and Nature Park, will talk about Il-Majjistral Nature and History Park.
Ms. Falzon, who is also the park guide, has been active in voluntary environmental NGOs since the early 1990s namely in ARBOR, Marine Life Care Group and Society for the Study and Conservation of Nature (now collectively known as Nature Trust (Malta). She has guided many nature and countryside walks for Nature Trust members, schoolchildren, tourists and worked as a visitors’ guide at the Argotti Botanic Gardens for four years and as a volunteer at WWF’s Miramare Marine Reserve, Trieste (Italy). In 2003 she co-authored “Malta, Gozo and Comino – Off the Beaten Track,” a Nature Trust guide for the local countryside.
The Majjsitral park, set up in 2007, is located in Mellieha and extends from Golden Bay to Anchor Bay. It is managed by 3 NGOs forming the Heritage Parks Federation: Nature Trust Malta, the Gaia Foundation and Din l-Art Helwa in collaboration with the Mellieha Local Council. The talk aims to highlight the main features of the park whilst looking at several issues encountered on site.
The talk will be delivered in English on Thursday, the 12th of January, at 6pm, at Judge Caruana Curran Lecture hall, Din -Art Helwa, 133, Melita Street, Valletta. Attendance is free of charge.
A guided walk will be offered for free on the following Sunday to those attending the talk and to members of the NGOs.
