Picture this moment: a young, tender sapling, placed by your own hands into a specially prepared patch of Israeli earth. Moist soil closing gently around roots that are already reaching downward, searching for their place in eternity. It’s a moment of pure joy and quiet fulfillment – one that few people ever get to experience.
Planting a tree at a KKL-JNF planting center is a one-of-a-kind experience, a meaningful and unforgettable connection to nature and to the land itself. The tender young sapling you plant today will grow into a strong, upright tree shaping the landscape for years to come – all thanks to you.
This is your chance to help restore degraded land and revive forests—all by simply planting a tree with your own hands at one of our special planting centers. Can’t make it to a planting center? No problem! You can host a Zoom planting ceremony that accompanies a KKL-JNF ranger as he plants your tree on your behalf, with family and friends joining from anywhere in the world – no matter how far. You’ll even receive a personal certificate, dedicated however you choose.
Some moments in life are so powerful, they cannot be contained
by a simple calendar date.
Want to mark something special – a birthday, a bar or bat mitzvah, a wedding, or the memory of someone you love – in a meaningful, lasting way? A planted tree will keep telling that story for years to come.
One of the largest and best-known planting centers, spanning tens of thousands of acres. It serves as a "green lung" for central Israel, providing a hub for hiking cycling and community events. Thanks to its proximity to Ben Gurion Airport and the cities of Modi'in, Lod, and Shoham, it's also very convenient to get there.
Located near Kibbutz Magen and home to the remains of a Byzantine-era synagogue and a striking 1,500-year-old mosaic. Planting here is the perfect chance to become part of repairing and preserving ancient landscape, while helping something new take root.
Your “Planting Ceremony Host” is our ambassador at every planting center – the person who welcomes you on-site, on the day and time you choose, and guides you every step of the way. With warmth and expertise, they’ll walk you through the environmental and historical meaning of your planting, and tell you about the center, the sapling you’re planting, and exactly how to plant it. Together, you will conduct the ceremony and recite the Planter’s Prayer. After you plant, our teams take over – watering, tending, and caring for your tree with dedication and love.
