Heritage Parks Federation

The Heritage Parks Federation aims to manage and rehabilitate protected areas on the Maltese Islands, working in the conservation of Malta’s cultural heritage, coastal management, and environment. The Melita Foundation will be supporting the Heritage Parks Federation in the restoration of natural and historical grounds located in the Majjistral Park.

The Melita Foundation will be supporting the Heritage Parks Federation in the restoration of natural and historical grounds located in the Majjistral Park.

The Majjistral Park covers the coastal area from Golden Bay (il-Mixquqa) to Anchor Bay (il-Prajjet) and further inland towards Manikata. It offers insight into the Mediterranean ecosystems’ intricate beauty and Malta’s cultural heritage with natural areas, agricultural parcels, and historic buildings. Restoration projects led by the Federation at Majjistral Park include the restoration of degraded ecosystems, planting of indigenous plants, restoration of historic buildings including towers and WWII defence posts and opening a Visitors Centre for the Park.

Working together for a better future

Since our launch in 2020, The Melita Foundation has supported dozens of projects run by many diverse organisations. Project beneficiaries range from the very young to the very young-at-heart, from the the very local – such as supporting STEM skills development for school children in the Three Cities – to projects which will have an impact beyond our borders: supporting extensive tree planting; developing skills in maritime law and conservation; preserving parts of our heritage entwined with our diaspora.
