Forty trees were this evening donated by Lands Parliamentary Secretary Jason Azzopardi to offset papers he used last year.
Dr Azzopardi said that the number of trees were scientifically calculated by Tree For You.
They are endemic to Malta and would be immediately replaced should they die or get a tree disease. The trees are being planted in Tarxien, Paola, Ghaxaq and Gudja.
More trees were planted by Dr Azzopardi last April at the Karl Chircop Gardens in Sta Lucija.
