Laughter under leafy canopies…a family picnic out in nature…wheelchair users exploring independently…these are just a few of the realities that you have helped bring to life.
KKL-JNF forest recreation projects aren’t just about play; they’re about fostering community, inspiring healthy lifestyles, and cultivating a love for nature. Your support fuels the creation of recreation areas, scenic lookouts, hiking trails, and more within KKL-JNF forests and parks.
KKL-JNF recreation areas are freely open to the public, including to those with special needs. The outdoor spaces you help create thereby become major catalysts for social inclusion and connection.
