A Legacy of Growth. A Commitment to Renewal
Since 1901, KKL-JNF has been developing the Land of Israel—planting over 250 million trees and transforming barren landscapes into thriving forests. From the Galilee to the Negev, the Jerusalem Hills to the Mediterranean coast, our work has brought life to the land, fought desertification, preserved biodiversity, and created vital green spaces for communities and future generations.
For more than ten decades, KKL-JNF has brought people closer to Israel through the simple act of planting a tree—placing their bare hands in the soil of our shared homeland. Today, tree planting carries even greater meaning: it is a living expression of resilience, hope, memory, and renewal.
Israel’s Forests Are Under Fire
Every year—especially during the dry summer months—Israel’s forests face a relentless and growing ecological threat. Wildfires, sparked by extreme heat, drought, negligence, war, and terror, have already scorched thousands of acres across the country. Habitats are being destroyed, wildlife displaced, and decades of reforestation work reduced to ash. Green landscapes have turned black.
The devastation of October 7, 2023, was not only human—it also left behind the worst environmental damage Israel has seen in decades, caused by rocket and missile attacks from Lebanon, Gaza, Iran and Yemen.
Every burned forest is an environmental loss that can take decades to rehabilitate and restore.
Now Is the Time to Act
Planting a tree in Israel today is an urgent and meaningful way to stand with the land and its people. Each tree strengthens the environment, heals wounded landscapes, and ensures a greener, stronger future for generations to come.
Why Plant Trees?
🌳 Rehabilitate: Restore forests and ecosystems devastated by war and natural disasters.
🌿 Revive the Land: Rejuvenate soil, combat desertification, and enrich Israel’s natural beauty.
💚 Ensure a Sustainable Future: Trees provide oxygen, improve air quality, and create habitats for wildlife.
🌍 Strengthen Cultural Roots: Join a cherished tradition deeply woven into Jewish history and heritage.
A Meaningful Act
Planting a tree in Israel is a lasting way to honor a loved one, commemorate a milestone, or demonstrate your commitment to a greener future. Every tree becomes a living tribute—forever growing, forever remembered.
Your Contribution Matters
Every tree you plant directly supports KKL-JNF’s vital reforestation and environmental restoration efforts. Your generosity nurtures a greener, stronger Israel for generations to come.

About KKL-JNF
Keren Kayemeth LeIsrael–Jewish National Fund (KKL-JNF) has been developing the land of Israel and strengthening the bond between the Jewish people and its homeland since 1901. KKL-JNF continues to meet the State of Israel’s changing needs and, together with its friends worldwide, create a better Israel through projects in forestry, environment, combating desertification and climate change, community development, water management, ecotourism, agricultural R&D, education and more.
KKL-JNF is a public-benefit company devoted to the sustainable development of Israel. It was established in 1901 at the 5th World Zionist Congress in Basel, Switzerland, for the purpose of acquiring land for Jewish settlement in Eretz Yisrael (at that time Ottoman Empire). Embarking on what was possibly the world’s first global Jewish “crowdfunding” campaign, KKL-JNF went on to purchase and develop 2.6 million dunams (260,000 ha.) for Hebrew agriculture and community development. These efforts essentially laid the foundations for what would become the State of Israel.
Today, KKL-JNF is a national institution, with over 120 years of experience in nation building under its belt. It has chapters all around the country, and hundreds of employees and volunteers from all sectors of Israeli society. KKL-JNF also acts under government mandate as Israel’s Forest Service. In this capacity, it manages some 300,000 acres (120,000 ha) of planted forests, woodlands, and open spaces.
We draw on our strong working relationships with local and national authorities, developed over decades, to spearhead and implement game changing initiatives in KKL-JNF’s three main spheres of activity, as embodied by the 3 colors on our logo: Blue for water management and technologies; Green for forestry, ecology, and climate change mitigation; and Brown for the cultivation of the land and the people living upon it.
Three spheres, one overarching goal: developing Israel to be the best that it can be.
KKL-JNF’s impact is evident in the vibrant patchwork of blues, greens, and browns making up the modern Israeli landscape: the reservoirs and rehabilitated streams; the field centers and recreation areas nestled amidst verdant forests; the delicate filagree of cycling and hiking trails, the gleaming R&D centers and innovation incubators, the brightly colored club houses for youth, and so much more.
True to its origins as a builder of bridges between Israel and the wider world, KKL-JNF operates in more than 55 countries and works in cooperation with various governmental and non-governmental bodies to further common environmental interests, especially in connection to climate change.
