Oct 30 2023 Share

Hundreds of families visited the Marsaskala Family Park to join in the activities of the first Halloween edition of the popular environmental event Wirt in-Natura, on Sunday.

Hosted by the Ministry for the Environment, Energy and Enterprise and Project Green, Wirt in-Natura was packed with entertainment for all the family, including educational games, trick-or-treating and other Halloween activities, hands-on gardening, live music, food and drink stalls, art and craft sessions, face painting and more.

Teams from Ambjent Malta, Circular Economy Malta, the Energy and Water Agency, the Environment and Resources Authority, Saving our Blue campaign and WasteServ Malta met visitors to share information and advice about different environmental themes.

Sunday’s Wirt in-Natura also marked the opening of a new, 1,300-square-metre picnic area in part of the park that was previously unused. Project Green regenerated this area with a flower-shaped shading structure, new trees and shrubs, picnic tables and other related works.

Minister for the Environment, Energy and Enterprise Miriam Dalli noted that, every year, Wirt in-Natura brings many families closer to Malta’s parks.

“Green open spaces have a significant positive impact on our wellbeing and quality of life. We are working tirelessly to improve our existing parks, while creating many new ones in different localities. The new picnic area we started using today is adding new facilities to make it easier for people to spend more time at this park,” Minister Miriam Dalli said.

Project Green CEO Steve Ellul explained that the new picnic area at the Marsaskala Park presents a fusion of artistry and functionality to ensure that this open space can be used throughout the year, reducing weather restrictions.

“Project Green is determined to continue attracting people to the parks, whilst providing a platform for local artists and Maltese culture. Wirt in-Natura is another in a series of events we are organising to give people a natural environment for relaxation and fun with their loved ones,” Mr Ellul said.

In December, the Ministry for the Environment, Energy and Enterprise will be hosting the third edition of Christmas in the Park, another popular environmentally themed family event at the Salina National Park, St Paul’s Bay.

As the world mourns the loss of beloved actor Matthew Perry, who portrayed the iconic and comedic character of Chandler Bing, actress Maggie Wheeler was the first from the cast to break the silence around his passing.

Wheeler portrayed Chandler’s on-and-off-again love interest Janice Hosenstein, who made various appearances on the sitcom with her iconic nasal laugh. 

‘What a loss’, wrote Wheeler on Instagram. ‘The world will miss you Mathew Perry. The joy you brought to so many in your too short lifetime will live on. I feel so very blessed by every creative moment we shared.’ 

The rest of the cast, including the main 5 remaining stars Matt LeBlanc, Lisa Kudrow, Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox and David Schwimmer have yet to comment on the passing.

Posting to social media, Shaun explained that he still finds the concept of having a super fan utterly bizarre. This did not stop him from meeting with Jacob, who was absolutely baffled at the fact that the singer was sitting next to him asking if they could have coffee together. 

Shaun started to get emotional when Jacob realised what was happening and started to hug and kiss his girlfriend as a thanks for the lovely surprise.
