Wied Dalam is to be turned into a national park, Environment Minister Jose Herrera promised on Monday.
Replying to a set of parliamentary questions by MP Stefan Zrinzo Azzopardi, he also revealed that there were afforestation plans in hand for Birżebbuġa, but not for ta’ Ħal Farruġ, Mqabba, Żurrieq, Kirkop or Safi.
He added that although there was no afforestation project for Qrendi, a zone had been cleared and its rubble walls were repaired.
The council had assisted with the planting of 120 indigenous trees as part of a Parks Directorate initiative.
