A Tree Grows in Israel: 240 million of them

JNF: 240 Million Trees Planted Since 1901

Israel is the only country in the world which has more trees now than it did 100 years ago.

In 1901, the year in which the Jewish National Fund (JNF) was founded, Israel contained only 14,000 dunam (roughly 3,500 acres) of forest land. By 1980 the figure reached 556,000 dunam and currently Israel has 855,663 dunam of forests.

JNF has planted over 240 million trees in its years of existence.
