KKL-JNF in the Press: April June 2018

KKL-JNF is committed to caring for Israel’s environment, whether it is publicly or privately owned. A new project funded by KKL-JNF will beautify privately owned open spaces in urban neighborhoods.

Terror kites launched from the Gaza Strip have burnt down hundreds of acres of planted forests in the Western Negev, forcing KKL-JNF foresters to work as firefighters rather than caring for the forests they have nurtured so lovingly.

Since the 1950s, KKL-JNF has planted over 35,000 acres of forests in the Western Negev. As of two months ago, the forests are going up in flames due to terror kites launched from the Gaza Strip. KKL-JNF Western Negev Regional Director Danny Ben-David describes the harrowing daily experience.

KKL-JNF has joined a Gaza periphery residents’ initiative entitled ‘they burn, we plant’.
