More than 150 volunteers participated in two activities on the 21/10/2016 and 4/11/2016 to plant 1000 citrus and annona trees in 5 locations in the Northern valley, Manshieh, Sheikh Hassan and Alrayan.  

The activities were funded by the Rehabilitation and Care Association Charity and in collaboration with the Union of Agricultural Workers. The activities came to support the resilience of small farmers in the Jordan Valley and prevent them from selling their lands. On the banks of the Jordan River, overlooking the mountains of Tubas, APN organized another activity to plant 550 lemon and orange trees. Around 40 volunteers from different age groups participated in the event in the area of Kreima.

A number of other activities were organized to plant an additional 1275 citrus trees in the Jordan valley under the initiative “Supporting Food Security for Jordanian families” sponsored by the newlyweds Fares Ghandoor and Dena Shaban who dedicated all their wedding gifts to APN to plant 8,500 trees in Jordan and Palestine in addition to distributing a number of beehives and sheep.
