P.A.R.K.S.

The Parks Afforestation, Countryside restoration and Initiatives Directorate forms part of the portfolio of the Ministry for Sustainable Development, the Environment and Climate Change (MSDEC).

PARK is mainly responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of national parks and other public spaces as may be identified in various localities in Malta, from time to time.

PARK deals also with the restoration of the countryside. Consequently it has, during the last years, undertaken various projects to re-establish derelict countryside sites across the Maltese islands.

The 34U campaign is one of the initiatives undertaken by PARK managing to encourage and empower the general public to plant more than 100,000 trees in various identified planting sites.

PARK is continuously committed to identifying and establishing other sites to turn into public recreational spaces.

To this end PARK management and planning personnel are regularly in contact with MEPA and other authorities to discuss new proposals and devise a way forward.
