He took us at the Foresta 2000 and told us information about the national tree of Malta which is the Gharghar, about the Holm Oak tree and other type of trees. After he took us to another part where there were many different trees.There was the carob tree and it was big and tall. It had many carobs. The man showed us the seed of the carob. From the carob we can make syrup like honey and it is good to take it when we have cough. We saw a lot of pine trees too. He told us that if someone burn fire near the pine trees, the pine open and the seeds fell down. After pine trees will grow up again. Then we walked to another part and then we stopped for a while to eat something. After we went to see the thyme trees. From there we could see the Red Tower.
