We are currently looking for your generous support in order to help us develop the first voluntary run service in Malta specifically aimed to assist members of the public with legal and generic aid on environmental related matters. Members of the public will be provided with expertise through a dedicated schedule of service as well as access to a resource library with relevant publications, handbooks and other educational materials.
The Green Resource Centre will also host our head office from which all activities and operations are co-ordinated. In addition to office space and equipment, the centre will incorporate a multifunctional hall with audio visual facilities and an urban garden which will enable us to organise more workshops and activities – including our now established BeeAware Course, urban gardening and vegan cooking classes...

Due to the effects of intensive agricultural practices and pesticide use, climate change, the decrease in rainfall, hotter summers and droughts, the bee population has been even more strained these past few years, with honey-bee keepers in Malta loosing up to half of their colonies.
Friends of the Earth Malta has already been organising a series of workshops called BeeAware that brings beekeeping closer to the public and makes beekeeping more accessible to people who might otherwise not have had the opportunity to get into apiculture. Last December we organised a two day live-in camp that builds on the work that we are already doing called Bee Sustainable.
