The Hanita Forest is spread over an area of more than 2,300 dunams on the slopes of the Western Galilee Mountains and at an altitude of 100-400 meters above sea level. KKL-JNF purchased the lands of Hanita, which was established in the Tower & Stockade Operation in 1938. Around the lower Hanita, KKL-JNF planted the forest, which extends from Hanita to the town of Shlomi. In the upper part of the forest stands a reconstructed model of the site of the Tower & Stockade and a parking lot that is also adapted for people with disabilities.
Another picnic parking lot is located at the lower end of the forest, near Shlomi.
