Giving them a better home

Our biggest annual event, the Walk for Nature, was held on Sunday 27 March 2022. Despite it being the general election weekend, we were still joined by many families who trekked the 9km walk with us from Buskett to Dingli Cliffs and back via s-Salib tal-Għolja and Girgenti. Apart from being an easy-going and refreshing hike in natural setting, this walk also traditionally raises funds for a special BirdLife Malta project. This year’s walk raised €850, which will be used to improve the breeding grounds for Little Ringed Plovers, especially at our Għadira Nature Reserve where they nest every year. Children who raised money were given a goody bag at the end of the walk, and the highest three fundraisers won awards for the extra effort.
