Council for a Beautiful Israel
The Council for a Beautiful Israel (Hebrew: <templatestyles src="Script/styles_hebrew.css" />המועצה לישראל יפה), was formed in 1968, by Aura Herzog, who remains its international president. It was established by Knesset vote, as a non-profit association, in order to do the following:
- Environmental education
- Local environmental action
- 'Green' urban projects
- National Environmental campaigns
- Envirnomental 'Beauty' competitions
It was established as Israel's first environmental association, and remains the only one centred on urban issues.
Jerusalem educational center
In 2010 the group started to build a new educational center in Kiryat HaLeom for Environmental Studies.
Volunteers
Most of the Council's work is done by dedicated volunteers, including lawyers, botanists, architects and a selection of other professions. Hundreds of children also take part annually. These volunteers are known as 'Guardians of a Beautiful Israel'. Every year the president of Israel presents outstanding members with the title of 'Creators of a beautiful Israel'.[1]
