The Gibraltar Horticultural Society and Whole Wild World together with the Department of the Environment & Climate Change and Greenarc, have launched a 'Mini Urban Forest' at Landport.

A statement from the Gibraltar Horticultural Society follows below:

The Gibraltar Horticultural Society and Whole Wild World together with the Department of the Environment & Climate Change, and Greenarc Ltd., has launched Gibraltar’s first Mini Urban Forest at Landport — a pioneering community project to improve air quality, boost biodiversity, and create a green learning space for schools and residents.

Volunteering Week runs from 21st to 28th November (1:00–6:00 p.m.), inviting schools, businesses, and community members to help plant native trees and shrubs.

The project will culminate in a Seed-Bomb Launch Ceremony with school children on Friday, 12th December, attended by the Governor and the Minister for the Environment, with drone coverage capturing the event.

“This project shows what can be achieved when government, charities, businesses, and citizens work together. The Mini Urban Forest will not only improve air quality and biodiversity but also give our young people a space to connect with nature and see the results of their own hands for generations to come” said Annabelle Mor-Codali, CEO of the Gibraltar Horticultural Society.
