The 34U Campaign
|
The 34U Campaign enables you to participate and contribute towards making our island a greener place to live in. Commemorate an important event, remember a loved one or simply adopt a tree for you!
The extent of vegetation cover and natural habitats in the Maltese islands has been drastically reduced by centuries of human habitation. Large areas of woodland have been cleared to make way for agriculture and other forms of land development in a country where such resources are very limited.
The Ministry for the Rural Affairs and the Environment has initiated a campaign to give people the opportunity to make a difference by participating in local afforestation projects.
The 34U Campaign enables you to commemorate an important event, remember a loved one, present an original gift to someone or simply adopt a tree for yourself. The tree is identified by a wooden tag attached to it, bearing the name of the person. A photo commemorating the event will be taken.
Not only can these trees be planted in one of the afforestation sites around the Maltese islands, but also in earmarked areas within your locality. Through a partnership with your local council we have identified sites where you can plant your tree and see it grow! Continued maintenance will be carried out after planting!
Would like you like to plant a tree in your locality?
Now you have the opportunity to do this and any excuse to celebrate is a good one to plant a tree. We are launching five schemes within this campaign:
34LOVE
Engagements
Weddings and anniversaries
Valentine’s Day
Mother’s and Father’s Days
34BABIES
34GIFTS
Birthdays
Special occasions such as graduations
Confirmations and First Holy Communions
House-warming
34LIFE
In memory of a special person
Or simply 34U
Adopt a tree for yourself
If you are interested in planting a tree in your locality kindly contact the 34U team for further details on 22952333 or 34U@gov.mt .
