The forests of contemporary Israel are mainly the result of a massive afforestation campaign by the Jewish National Fund (JNF). This article is a list of these forests.
In the 19th century and up to World War I, the Ottoman Empire cleared the land of Israel of its natural reserves of pine and oak trees, in order to build railways across the empire.[1] Since it was founded the JNF has planted in Israel more than 260 million trees creating 280 forests, and still operates today.[2]
