Food Forests
Kidron Food Forest

Surface runoff conservation work was done in the food forest, which absorbs thousands of cubic meters annually to the groundwater, a wide variety of vegetation as well as a huge diversity of fruit trees, wild plants, ornamental plants, medicinal and herb plants, and pioneer species. Courses, workshops and different activities which teach the subject and help distribute it are held in the food forest.
