The EkoSkola/LEAF Committee of Gozo College Xewkija Primary, is inviting the general public to an information meeting about the Red Palm Weevil, which is destroying many palm trees across the islands.

Malta, along with other European countries, is being faced with a major pest problem; the Red Palm Weevil (Rhynchophorus ferrugineus) which is a palm tree borer capable of killing palm trees within a short period of time (months).

Experts from Plant Health Malta will be doing a presentation on this pest and will also answer any related queries.

This meeting is taking place on Wednesday, the 18th of March, starting at 1.00pm, in the School Hall at Xewkija Primary. Entrance is free of charge.
