Donate a Tree in Israel – Plant it with your own hands

It’s easy. Simply click on the link below, which will direct you to an online form in which you will enter your details, and specify the number of trees you want to plant ($36 USD per tree). A friendly KKL-JNF representative will contact you to arrange a date and plan your ceremony.

What’s a tree-planting ceremony?

This is the ceremonial planting of your donated tree/s at a KKL-JNF planting center in central Israel or northern Israel. Upon arrival at the planting center, you and your invited guests will be greeted by a KKL-JNF ranger, and together, you will read any dedications, poems or songs of your choosing. You will then recite the Planters Prayer, and plant the tree/s with your own hands.

Ben Shemen Planting Center

This is our planting site in Ben Shemen Forest, conveniently located between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. The trees you will plant here are part of our rehabilitative efforts for the Ben Shemen Forest, which sustained severe fire damage in recent years.

Golani Planting Center

Our Golani Planting Center is situated east of the Golani Junction in the lower Galilee, right next to Lavi Forest. Minimum donation required: 50 trees

Danny Saguy, Ben Shemen Planting Ranger
“Cheers. My name is Danny, and it is my pleasure to be with you at this great moment of planting a tree in the land of Israel. I will guide and assist you through the planting process. Strengthen your connection to the land and be part of this grand idea. See you soon!”

David Kidron, Golani Planting Center Manager
“My role is akin to pastoral care in nature; we embark on an emotional process of connecting with the earth and giving to it something deep from within ourselves. I tell participants about the trees they’re about to plant, and they plant with intent and devotion.”
