About Planting a Tree in Israel

"And when come into the land, and plant all kinds of trees…" (Leviticus, 19:23)

KKL-JNF invites you to plant a tree with you own hands in the land of Israel.

In honor of this unique experience, you will receive a beautiful tree planting certificate and a copy of the special Planter's Prayer.

Your connection to Israel will be rooted deeply in the land, and will last forever.

Since 1901, KKL-JNF has planted over 240 million trees in Israel. This work is just as important today as it ever was.

Trees remind us of our roots and of our intrinsic potential to grow and reach great heights.Plant a tree with your own hands, and leave roots that will flourish and help contribute to a greener, better tomorrow.

KKL-JNF has two tree planting centers, one located in Nachshon Forest in the Judean Lowlands, and the second, for tourists visiting the Galilee, is located near the Golani Junction, in the Lavi forest, near Tiberias.

KKL-JNF has established its new planting center in the Tzora Forest. This area sustained great damage during the August 2015 fire. Your planting will aid its recovery.
