JNF CAMPAIGNS FOR REFORESTATION IN CARMEL AND PROVIDING EQUIPMENT FOR ISRAEL'S FIRE DEPARMENT

REFORESTATION CAMPAIGN

Losses from the Carmel Forest fire, the largest in Israel's history, have been devastating. At least 42 people died, homes were lost and more than 12,500 acres of forests destroyed. JNF foresters estimate over 5 million trees were burned.

Unfortunately, the road to recovery has only just begun. Staying true to its mandate of caring for the needs of the land and people of Israel, Jewish National Fund’s (JNF) Operation Carmel Renewal: From Black to Green will help rebuild and renew the Carmel Forest.

These efforts will include erosion prevention, infrastructure restoration and clearing of debris, creation of firebreaks to prevent future fires from spreading, and care of the naturally regenerating woodlands.
