On December 5th 2016 dozens of volunteers planted olive trees in the land of farmer Khaled Khawaldeh which lies meters away from the Settlement of Beit El.

The farmers greeted this initiative, which comes at a time when settlements are expanding rapidly at the expense of their produce, livelihoods and existence.The activity comes within the framework of the “Revival of the Land” project that is funded by APN and implemented by the Palestinian Farmers Union. It aims to plant 22 thousand trees in the cities of Jerusalem, Salfit, Ramallah, Hebron, Gaza, Bethlehem, Tubas, Jericho and Tulkarem.
