Some 500 trees have been planted at the AFM's Safi barracks as part of an environmental initiative by Bank of Valletta.

A symbolic ceremony was held this morning in the presence of Environment Minister Leo Brincat, Armed Forces of Malta Commander Brigadier Jeffrey Curmi and BOV Chief Officer Operations Michael Galea.

Mr Brincat hailed such initiatives. He said the time was ripe to prepare an outline plan for afforestation and for better use of open spaces and recreational areas.
