Album Info:

At friday morning, my wife and me went to the Jerusalem wood/forest - west to the capital JERUSALEM. The place is a lagre half man made forest and half with native trees. The settelers how came to this country 100 years ago, found an country with almost no trees. The Othoman Turkes how where the rulers in this country for hundreds of years, cutt almost all the wood for use as raw material for trains power and the rest was eaten by beduin herds of goats that eat what ever they find.

  • So are you saying that the trees that were replanted are not native to your area? It is good to see either way that trees have been replanted.
