After the immense devastation caused by the ongoing war to southern Israel, the urgent call for restoration echoes through the once serene Shokeda Forest. Keren Kayemth LeIsrael – Jewish National Fund (KKL-JNF) endeavors to mend the wounds inflicted by war and return these cherished woodlands to their former glory.
Nestled amidst the rugged beauty of the Western Negev, the Shokeda Forest, managed by KKL-JNF, stands as a testament to resilience and hope. But now, its accessibility and safety hang in the balance, threatened by the ravages of conflict.
A Critical Lifeline Under Threat
At the heart of this restoration effort lies the vital artery of the Shokeda Forest: its access road. This 3,000-meter lifeline, battered by the chaos of war, now stands in dire need of repair. Its restoration is not just about convenience; it’s about ensuring the safety of visitors, the livelihoods of farmers, and the security of surrounding communities.
The Path to Renewal
To restore this lifeline to the Shokeda Forest, we need your support. The restoration project involves two key components:
Renewing the Access Road: This involves resurfacing and strengthening the road to ensure it can withstand the traffic of maintenance vehicles, emergency responders, and visitors alike.
Construction of a Ford: This critical addition will ensure safe and reliable crossing over watercourses, further enhancing the accessibility and resilience of the access route.
Your Impact, Our Future
Your support is a beacon of hope in these uncertain times. By rallying behind the restoration of the Shokeda Forest access road, you are not merely repairing asphalt; you are stitching together the fabric of a community torn apart by conflict.
KKL-JNF invites you to join us in this vital effort. Your support will help pave the way to a restored and resilient Shokeda Forest for the residents of southern Israel.
Together, we can ensure that this beautiful forest continues to be a place of peace, recreation, and natural wonder for generations to come. Join us to heal the scars of war and pave the path to a brighter tomorrow.
