We will stop at hidden observation points, and with some luck, we might be able to observe the birds.

Didn’t Clean Up? You’ve Littered!

KKL- JNF invites you to activities that focus on protecting the environment and cleaning up the forests and parks. We will take a guided tour of the forest trails while cleaning up garbage left by others, which causes harm to the environment and wildlife.

We will experience fun and adventure through a cell-phone-based escape/ navigation game (via the 'HavaYaar' app). It provides an enriching educational lesson on the environment and the importance of keeping the forests clean. Finally, we will play a creative game together using the "Escape Box".
