Urgent measures are needed to preserve Israel's threatened native plants, animals and habitats. Protected forests and backyard areas can preserve habitats for wildlife and create a sanctuary for indigenous life. The Jerusalem Cityfarm began in 1997, when local families asked us to host family gardening. These children are now saving seeds from last year's harvest. The empty field in the back of the Jerusalem Educational Farm is growing a community of urban organic gardeners and agroecology activists.
Youth groups visit to help create practical ecological solutions.
Bring food scraps to compost, and receive fresh organic vegetables in exchange, or grow your own in our community garden.
