Jerusalem Green Map is getting ready for Earth Day celebrations in Jerusalem.

On Thursday 22nd April Jerusalem will host Earth Day celebrations at the Mamila Pavillion opposite the Jaffa Gate and Old City Walls.

Event takes place 4-8pm and the Old City wall lights will be turned off at 8pm to celebrate "lights out hour" and earth day.

The Jerusalem Green Map has joined together with the Jerusalem Municipality to print a new city map with Green Map icons included. This is the first time a city map has "green content". New sites include bird observation sites and unique flowering sites. We hope that this is just the start of a series of printed Jerusalem Green Maps. Find out more here (in Hebrew).

On Thursday 23rd April Jerusalem will celebrate Earth Day with a major joint event coordinated by the Society for the Protection of Nature in Israel and the Municipality.
At the event there will be stools, workshops, information booths and of course presenation of the Jerusalem Green Map.

At 8.10pm Jerusalem and Tel Aviv will celebrate Lights Out Hour, where all city lights will be turned off for an hour.
