The association's story

How it all began

In 2019, Ofer Carmon, Shay Attias, Aviv Beilies Lerner, Maya Glantz, Hagai Hirschfeld, Maya Hatzir, Shir Talr and Noam Rausnitz sat together and established Venatata NGO.

The group sat for days and nights and operated tree distribution projects to citizens. Right at the start, it wasn’t clear what Venatata has come to do and say in the world, but we all knew we had a strong mission to promote projects that put man, land and community in the center.

Several of the founders took a step back over time, and around the others was formed a select group of entrepreneurs and activists who devoted their lives to the forestation of the country, and the entire world – while rehabilitating the soil, connecting communities, and raising awareness to environmental and ecological subjects.
