We’re super excited to launch the brand-new website, www.GreeningIsrael.com, where you can get involved in our tree planting project. Our goal is to plant 5,000 trees as soon as the Shemitah (sabbatical year) finishes in September, and we’re planning to plant 20,000 trees in Judea and Samaria every year after that.
To get the saplings started in green houses in preparation to be planted in October after the Shemitah finishes, we need your help. Your investment in one, two, or even ten trees is literally an investment in the restoration of God’s Kingdom, happening today in the heartland of Israel.

Christians to plant trees in ‘fulfillment of biblical prophecy’

A group of young Christians wants to give people from the nations a chance to personally participate in the restoration of the Land of Israel, according to biblical prophecy.
The Greening Israel Project, scheduled to launch on April 10, is a new forestry initiative of HaYovel, the Christian volunteer organization that has brought 3,000 Christians to work in the vineyards of Israel over the last 18 years.
he Greening Israel Project has an ambitious goal: To plant 5,000 trees in Judea and Samaria between the end of Israel’s sabbatical year (shemittah) in late September and December 31, 2022. In future years, they aim to plant 20,000 trees a year.
According to Luke Hilton, HaYovel’s director of marketing, the planting will take place with the cooperation of Jewish communities and individual farmers.
“The goal is to be close to communities, not to plant in the middle of nowhere,” Hilton explained. “We want to plant close to every community in Judea and Samaria, to establish a forest, to create parks with trees,” for the benefit of local residents.
Joshua Waller, director of operations for HaYovel, told The Jerusalem Post about his passion for this project.
“Literally, who destroyed the Land of Israel?” he asked. “It was the nations; it wasn’t the Jewish people. Nations are the ones that are responsible for destroying, completely annihilating greenery off the mountains of Israel. The Romans come in and they literally obliterate anything green around the cities; they destroy the forest.

Groasis Ecological Water Saving Technology
The technology of Groasis consists of multiple products. The main products are the Waterboxx® and Growboxx® plant cocoon. The Waterboxx® and Growboxx® plant cocoon are instruments that support plants and trees to survive in difficult circumstances without using groundwater or electricity.
Both boxes collect water by catching rainwater. The Waterboxx plant cocoon produces and catching water from condensation. Both boxes subsequently distribute the collected water over an extended period, to the tree growing in the center of the Waterboxx® and Growboxx® plant cocoon. In the lid of the Growboxx® plant cocoon, vegetables, shrubs or flowers can grow hydroponically.
Furthermore, it stimulates the capillary formation of the soil; prevents the evaporation of groundwater; steadies the temperature around the roots; fights competitive weeds near the planted tree; and can even prevent damage by rodents. In this way, the Groasis Waterboxx® and Growboxx® plant cocoon stimulate optimal growth of the young tree.
