Bank to donate 3,000 trees

Bank of Valletta has announced the launch of a wide-ranging environmental initiative that will contribute towards a greener environment.

The bank will plant 50 trees in every locality in Malta and Gozo. With over 60 local councils, its aim is to plant over 3,000 trees all over the islands.

Marsa was the first to benefit, with the council having identified Gnien 6 t'Awissu as the place for the trees. The trees, which include Gharghar, Olive, and Bay Laurel, were presented during a commemoration ceremony attended by Marsa mayor Francis Debono, Michael Galea, the BOV head of marketing and communication, Edward Grech, manager of BOV's Marsa branch, a representation of the Marsa branch team, as well as Glenn Bugeja from the 34U campaign within the Ministry for Rural Affairs and the Environment.
