Israel Starts Tree-Hugging Campaign to Defeat Corona Virus Despair

Israel’s Nature and Parks Authority has started a new tree-hugging campaign to help people overcome the blues that come with social and physical distancing. “In this unpleasant corona period we recommend to go out to nature, hug a tree, and get love,” said Orit Steinfeld, the authority’s marketing director. The authority organised a tour of the Apollonia National Park in Tel Aviv for tree huggers.
