Accessible Forest, Parks and Sites in Israel<\/strong><\/p>\n

In recent years, KKL-JNF has\u00a0been working to\u00a0develop suitable facilities for the physically\u00a0challenged in its forests and parks. Our aim is to open nature to all sectors of the population, by creating an environment through which people with limited mobility\u00a0can move safely and comfortably. We have also gone one step forward, and brought nature into the schoolyard with unique projects in special education schools.<\/p>\n
