The Jewish National Fund is currently engaged in rehabilitating forests in the northern part of the country, damaged during the Yom Kippur War and other hostile actions. During the current season, JNF has planted some 200.000 saplings, among them 30,000 in the Golan Heights in memory of the armored units’ soldiers who fell during the Yom Kippur War. The firsts of Mount Carmel, both remnants of natural woodlands and forests planted by the JNF, will be augmented this season by 35,000 trees to be planted on an area of 350 dunams.
