18 June 2011: Inauguration of the Wied Ghajn Zejtuna Regeneration Project
A few words from our Chairperson Mr. Sammy Vella:
" We set ourselves difficult targets and then exhausted all our energies in an attempt to reach those targets. And then discovered that we still had untapped energies to draw from and carry on. That is what happened these past two weeks. At first it appeared an impossible target. But we wouldn't let it go. All the brambles and vines in our pilot area have been rolled back and even though this is the worst part of the year to plant trees, we decided that we would not allow this part of the valley to be swallowed up again by invasive species and we have colonised it with indigenous trees - Hawthorn, Myrtle, Chasteberry, Holm Oak, Carob, and Elder. And we have brought several authorities and NGO's down to the valley to be our witnesses"

The Valley Management Unit of the Ministry for Resources and Rural Affairs has commenced preparations for the Inauguration of the Valley Regeneration Project. The Committee of the Ghaqda wishes to express it's gratitude and the gratitude of the St. Marija residents for their support of our project.
