The Environment and Resources Authority (ERA) is inviting everyone to celebrate World Bee Day (May 20th) and International Biodiversity Day (22nd May) with the intention of increasing the understanding and awareness of the vital role that biodiversity plays in our daily lives and how we may play a part in supporting it.
This year ERA is launching the ‘Sebbaħ u ħaddar ħalli l-insett idakkar’ initiative which aims to educate individuals on the importance of having a variety of plants in our environment, while also encouraging people to grow plants in their home. To do this, ERA will be sending two seed packets free of charge right to the doorstep of those interested!
To apply, one simply needs to register online via this form and ERA will send participants seed varieties of flowering plants or herbs, a Bee Identification Guide and a Flowering Calendar for free!
Those who register will receive 2 seed packets from any of the following; Poppies, Lavender, Rosemary, Great Sage, Bear’s Breeches or the Tree Medick. We are also giving the opportunity to receive by post free copies of any of ERA’s posters with information on local biodiversity of your choice. Seeds will be available until stocks last.
Let’s take this opportunity to brighten up our homes and streets while lending a helping hand to our insect friends. Take care of nature, and it will take care of you!
