New ecological visitors center opened at Sataf park in Jerusalem hills

After the horrific wildfires in the Jerusalem corridor caused widespread and visible damage to the forests this past spring, Global warming too is having a strong impact this summer. Keren Kayemet L’israel, the JNF, however, has today opened a new visitors center in the Jerusalem Hills site of Sataf, a gorgeous site with flowing springs and plenty of shade. Gidi Bashan, the manager of the mountain district of the KKL, said that the new visitor center was built with green principles that integrate into the natural landscape. He told reporter Arieh O’Sullivan that the global warming and forests were changing the nature of the flora. (photo: JNF)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
