APN, through its Million Tree Campaign (III), continued its efforts in land revival projects and empowering smallholder farmers, particularly female-headed households, by planting 1,105 olive, fig and pomegranate trees in the Iskaka area in the Salfit governorate.

The event was part of the "Our Country's Mothers" project and was organized in collaboration with the Salfit Development Association and other youth organizations in the area. The trees were donated by the newlyweds Fares Ghandour and Dina Shaban. 

The Iskaka village lies directly adjacent to and is completely surrounded by the Ariel settlement (the largest settlement in the West Bank).

The "Our Country's Mothers" project aims to plant 7,600 fruit trees of different varieties (olive, pomegranate, fig) in the Salfit villages of Al Furkha, Yasouf and Iskaka over 343 dunams of land, benefiting 110 women farmers and 695 family members.
