Nahal Ayun Nature Reserve, Israel\u2019s northernmost nature park, will reopen tomorrow (Thursday) after being closed for a year due to the war. Over the past few months, the Israel Nature and Parks Authority has worked tirelessly to restore the reserve, clearing trails and revitalizing overgrown vegetation. <\/p>\n
Returning to Normal <\/strong><\/p>\n The reserve, which attracts more than 180,000 visitors annually, is the last of the northern nature reserves to reopen. Since the ceasefire in November, over 350,000 visitors have already flocked to northern sites, signaling a return to normalcy in the region. <\/p>\n Raya Shurki, CEO of the Israel Nature and Parks Authority, shared her excitement: \u201cIt\u2019s incredibly moving to reopen the reserve. You can feel the public\u2019s longing for northern Israel\u2019s beauty. Hundreds of thousands have already traveled north to visit reopened parks and reserves, and we are proud to serve as an anchor driving tourism in the region. I thank the dedicated staff who worked so hard to make this reopening possible.\u201d <\/p>\n
