KKL-JNF Managing Israel’s Forests

KKL-JNF forests are some of the most visible symbols of our partnership in Israel. But behind every forest stands an ongoing story of planning, protection, environmental stewardship, and resilience. Created by the KKL-JNF Project Marketing Department, the KKL-JNF Managing Israel’s Forests video series explores the history, importance, challenges, and day-to-day management of Israel’s forests.

Developed especially for our friends and partners worldwide, these videos are designed to support your marketing, fundraising, and donor engagement efforts, helping you share the story of KKL-JNF forests with your communities and supporters.


This is a 6-part series. The remaining 2 installments will be published shortly, so stay tuned!
