Jewish National Fund of Canada (JNF) is a registered charitable organization and United Nations NGO established in 1901 with the goal of purchasing land in Israel, and has been the sole agency responsible for the development and infrastructure of land and settlements there. Today, JNF’s work focuses on five areas: water conservation and recycling, forestry, environmental education, community development and environmental research and development. JNF has evolved into a global environment leader, planning over 240 million trees, constructing more than 250 reservoirs and dams and developing over 250,000 acres of land while creating more than 1000 parks and providing stable infrastructure for over 1000 communities.
