A group of students from the Bishop's Conservatory Secondary School are currently undergoing a project under the LEAF Programme about the awareness of planting trees.

During the research which the students have carried out as part of the project, students have found out that Wied ir-Rihan; which is situated in Nadur Gozo, has it's name derived from the Rihan plant also known as "Common Myrtle." Unfortunately, nowadays the Rihan plant is no longer found growing in this habitat.

In this regard, the Forest Team from the Bishop's Conservatory Secondary School have collaborated with Nadur Local Council and successfully acquired permission to replant the named plant in this valley.
