Meeting points and times are 9:00 AM at the El-Al terminal near Tel Aviv`s Arlozoroff train station or 10:30 AM at Lehavim Junction heading south. The activity is family-friendly. Background: after the people of Al-Arakib were driven off their lands in the early 1950`s, the land - tens of square kilometers - was confiscated by the state. Now some of these lands are leased to the JNF for tree planting, even though the residents` ownership claims are still pending in court. The tree-planting day is part of a joint campaign to stop the land robbery and return the land to its rightful owners. They plant thorny shrubs in order to drive out We plant olive trees in order to nourish.
