The Jewish National Fund reported this week that the storms and snow had so far not damaged its forests and saplings–un-like last year when extensive damage was caused. It also announced that despite grave shortages because of the emergency in heavy vehicles and equipment, it had succeeded in preparing most of the land earmarked for next season’s afforestation. Some 2,200,000 saplings will be planted, the JNF said.
