Trees in KKL-JNF Forests

“With all the experience on the ground that KKL-JNF has had over the last 100 years, there is a huge opportunity to build on KKL-JNF’s experiences."

The Wiesbaden Forest was dedicated to commemorate the Jewish communities decimated during the Holocaust and to wish Israel and its inhabitants a peaceful future.

On Monday, August 22, two United States senators and twelve congressional advisors planted trees at KKL-JNF’s VIP tree planting center in the shade of the Kennedy Memorial.

Cadets from Canada, USA, Holland, UK, Germany and Hong Kong visited the IAF Museum and experienced planting trees in the Negev.

“There is no more suitable a place for commemorating Prince Eugène and his wife than Belgium Park in Neve Ilan, a village near Jerusalem that overlooks the holy city.”

Over 45,000 people from more than 50 countries registered to support the rehabilitation of the Expo Forest when they visited the Israel pavilion at Expo 2015 in Milan.

“Yatir Forest is a sort of miracle. It grows in an area that is beyond the traditional limits of afforestation, where the average precipitation is only 250-275 mms."

"The most powerful weapon Israel has is hope, and that is what we are taking back with us. There is a vision here, though the country is very small, the message it sends out is marvelous."
