Description
Located on the outskirts of Mellieħa and offering spectacular panoramic views of Mellieħa and Għadira Nature Reserve, this young forest was the dream of BirdLife Malta as a gift to future generations. Over the past years thousands of trees and shrubs were planted creating a diverse habitat which after a few years has matured into a green area which homes various passerine species, especially in the spring and autumn migrations.
