So Much More Than Planting Trees: How KKL-JNF Contributes to the State of Israel
Although probably best known for being the organization that plants trees around Israel, KKL-JNF has contributed tremendously to the development of the Jewish State. Early projects included establishing the Tower & Stockade settlements (in 1936-39), founding the three border lookouts of Gvulot, Beit Eshel, and Revivim (1943), and establishing 11 points of settlement overnight in the Negev, changing the map of the Jewish State forever (1946).
