This tree planting initiative has vastly changed the Israel’s arid desert landscapes to that of vibrant park lands. In all, over 250 million trees have been planted on over 250,000 acres of land, generating over 240 reservoirs and dams, and founding more than 2,000 parks. These efforts have been focused on the following regions: the southern Hebron Hills, the mountainous slopes in the Galilee, the southern hills of the Negev, Be’er Sheva, and as well as for the beautification of urban areas and creation of recreational parks.
