Trees greening one time Israeli wasteland
Israeli landscape is being transformed as Jews plant trees to reclaim swamps and deserts. The Jewish National Fund, founded in 1901, now owns much land and runs a tree planting program that raises memorials with saplings. In 1981 about 37,650 trees were planted as memorials, up from 29,102 the previous year, reflecting a national and cultural commitment to greening Israel.
