We actually require 10 million NIS to plant 100,000 trees, but if we succeed in raising 500,000 NIS, we can build an operation that will know how to raise the remaining funds and resources
A system we developed called “Trees Looking for Land” helps us connect between planters, tree donors, land owners, professionals, artists and event producers – to create thousands of planting events. We have already used this system to plant over 3500 trees, and we’re ready to go all the way!
We’ll plant on rooftops, on balconies, in schools, in rehabilitation centers, community gardens, private courtyards – and really – anywhere we can – because a Forest-City grows from the ground-up – it’s in our hands!
Venatata NGO has undertaken the task, along with you, to set up the Forest-City movement. Together we will transform cities in Israel, we’ll plant trees, plants, make the cities greener, set up green rooftops, walls with beautiful climbers, community gardens, therapeutic gardens in rehabilitation center for those who need us, and we will make the city and enjoyable, benevolent place.
We plant in and around the city, in boarding schools, in psychiatric instituations, in senior citizen’s homes, community gardens, schools, kindergartens, private gardens, on rooftops and in main streets – the entire city becomes a forest!
A Forest-City is the smart city of tomorrow, a city covered with rich, diverse greenery, a city not just characterized by technology and personal achievements but where connection to nature and community is a prime value.
Trees are beneficial for the body and soul. Recovery from surgery is cut short in the presence of trees; people tend to exercise more in the open air when there are trees around; violence and crime are on the decline in a forest environment. Trees mitigate the effects of noise and air pollution and enrich the air with oxygen.
