Much of the natural vegetation in the Holy Land had disappeared, or had been destroyed by the time reforestation efforts began
over 100 years ago. The Bible was the source of knowledge of which species were native to the Holy Land. Originally planted
by God, were olive, oak, pine, cypress, tamarisk, palm, acacia, and carob. These are the species of trees we are planting to replenish
and nurture the land.
Tree saplings are between 1 to 2 years old, with a trunk diameter between 1 to 3 inches, and a height of approximately 24 inches.
Current reforestation efforts in Israel are in three places: the mountainous slopes in the Galilee, in the Negev desert, and in urban areas for beautification and recreational parks. We cannot direct a specific type of tree to be planted, or choose the specific location. Your trees are planted where they are most needed, in the environment that is most conducive for their growth.
Trees are not marked when planted. The price per tree does not permit for the creation, placement, and upkeep of permanent
markers on each tree, along with the directories and forest personnel which would be necessary to provide assistance in locating one tree
among a forest of thousands of trees.
You will, however, feel enriched and uplifted when you view the forests that you have created together with thousands of fellow planters. While in Israel, ask your spiritual leader, tour guide, or tourism official to arrange for you to plant a tree with your own hands in the holy soil (see next question).
How wonderful you will be in Israel! It is a great blessing to plant a tree, and to help a forest grow.
Plant some roots of your own in Israel, and help keep the Holy Land green for generations to come!

are encrypted using the level of online security banks use, 128-bit encryption. Credit card details are not seen by humans

Additionally, we do not store your credit card number. We purposely do not have "customer accounts" where you can have us "save" your credit card to make it easier for you to purchase on future orders. While other stores/websites may believe that is a helpful feature for your convenience, we believe it is risky to allow stores to retain your credit card number and personal information (and some stores don't give you choice, or even allow you to de-select storing your credit card on their website).
This is a nice idea, but we prefer that you keep your money. Did you know that approximately 18% of gift cards and other store
credits are never redeemed?
The price per tree is not a tax-deductible donation; it is the fee for the tree-planting service.

or your order if you are not comfortable ordering online.

Next Shmita will be in 5782 (September 7, 2021 – September 26, 2022).
Shmita is the Sabbath year in Israel, occurring every seventh year; the year when the land is “released” and allowed to rest.
During this year, Jewish law prohibits farming, tilling soil, planting seeds, plowing, harvesting, and pruning, but work such as
watering, fertilizing, and pulling weeds is allowed.
Unfortunately, only one certificate can be processed per order.
