On the occasion of Tu BiShvat, the "New Year of the Trees", the staff of the Embassy of the Czech Republic in Tel Aviv joined an initiave to support reforestation efforts in the Negev Desert. As part of KKL´s "Plant Your Tree" project, Embassy employees provided financial support to help restore and green this important region of Israel.
As a symbolic gesture of this commitment, Ambassador Veronika Kuchyňová Šmigolová and the Embassy team not only made a financial contribution but also personally planted trees in the Ofakim Forest, in collaboration with Keren Kaymeth LeIsrael (KKL).
This joint effort reflectss not only a respect for nature and values of Tu Bishvat, but also the deep friendship between the Czech Republic and Israel. The trees planted in this region will serve as a living reminder of our shared responsibility for the environment and the strong ties that unite our two nations.
