The Kishon River Authority, in collaboration with M.A. Zevulun, is currently carrying out a unique activity to restore local vegetation to the banks of the Kishon River, as part of a multi-year plan for the ecological restoration of the river area.
Each year, a designated section is selected downstream of the stream, where eco-hydrological restoration work is carried out, which includes: bank slope mitigation, removal of invasive and invasive species, and the restoration of native plant species unique to the Kishon Basin.
This year, the operation was carried out on a section approximately 500 meters long, adjacent to the agricultural fields of Kibbutz Yagur-Kfar Hasidim in the Zevulun Regional Council.
The River Authority has carried out work in this area in recent years to eradicate invasive and invasive species and to maintain it to prevent new germination of invasive plants. The work was carried out in cooperation with the Open Spaces Preservation Foundation. The area was prepared in advance for the restoration work, and a sprinkler irrigation system (not drip irrigation) was installed to prevent damage from animals.
During the project, approximately 400 seedlings of plant species typical of the Kishon Basin were planted, in collaboration with the Harduf Nursery, which is engaged in the propagation and preservation of breeding seeds of local plants from the region. Among the species planted are the marigold, sharp marigold, lush guma, creeping livia, common Abraham's bush and more.
According to Director General of the Kishon River Authority, Sharon Nissim"Restoring the native vegetation is an important milestone in the ecological restoration of the Kishon River. The actions we are leading are intended to restore the natural balance, to improve the quality of the ecosystem in the river and its surroundings."
Deputy Head of the Zevulun Military Academy, Tal Presser"This is another important project that resulted from good cooperation between the authorities, and the common interest is proving itself in a variety of projects. We see great importance in the care of open space and the subsequent restoration of the Kishon River. The balance between community and environment is key to the prosperity of the region and the preservation of our open spaces."
