The Ramblers Association of Malta has complained of the illegal practice of offroading on garigue and maquis in valleys around Malta - most recently at Wied Incita, limits of Attard, where four vehicles were noticed attempting to drive over rocks in a sensitive area of the valley on Friday.

Wied Incita's steep coralline valley sides still harbour a good variety of plant and animal life including endemic, rare and protected species.

The association said it is calling for protective bollards to be installed.

It also intends to organise a guided walk to this valley in the coming months with the intention of raising awareness of the need to protect such areas.
