Ilanot Forest

Ilanot Forest is a botanical garden covering 130 dunams. The garden is home to some 300 species of trees collected from around the world. A wheelchair-accessible path, about two km long, passes through the garden’s trees. In 2017, KKL-JNF inaugurated a state-of-the-art visitors’ center next to the garden that presents the hidden secrets of the trees and forests in an experiential way, using innovative means. The visitors’ center is disabled-accessible, and next to it, KKL-JNF built a recreation area with wheelchair-accessible tables.
 
Directions: To the eastern recreation area - on the eastern side of the "old" Tel Aviv-Haifa highway (Route 4), between the Dror and HaSharon Junctions (Beit Lid Junction). This entrance can only be used by those coming from the south.
