Friends of the Earth Malta recently held a tree-planting event in conjunction with UNHCR Malta at the Gaia Foundation in Għajn Tuffieħa, as part of a programme of events to mark World Refugee Day.

Refugees who are currently residing in Malta joined volunteers and staff on a visit to Gaia’s Elysium Visitor Centre at Għajn Tuffieħa. They were given a tour of the centre, the nursery for indigenous plants, the organic olive groves and the special area of conservation.

They also took part in a tree adoption and tree-planting programme. Typical local food was then sampled, including Gaia’s organic olive oil.
