HOUR 2
The Chiriya, the 200-foot-high man-made mountain/landfill of Gush Dan's trash, is now the heart of an ecopark twice the size of Central Park- and ready to serve a million visitors! Raanan Boral, Director of the Friends of Ariel Sharon Park, explains this unknown miracle of life and restoration in the very heart of Israel's urban sprawl. The site of one of Israel's greatest ecological failures this short-sighted health hazard in the population's heart, is a vast bird feeder that endangered flights at Ben Gurion Airport, is now a UN recognized leader in turning waste into profit. Chiriya's green technological incubator is spawning companies around the world. If that is not enough, add ancient and modern formative historical sites, nature parks and activities with bike paths and hiking in the backyard of 11 cities; a planned 60,000 seat stadium and cultural belt, a cutting edge educational recycling center, and more, sandwiched in between Israel's busiest roads. The site is fast becoming a unique world-class site. Get an advance preview on LandMinds!
At the suggestion of the Israel Antiquities Authority, Friends of the Ariel Sharon Park invited Foundation Stone to partner in launching a participatory excavation for the neighboring communities and visitors to uncover their heritage and history no matter where they are in the religious spectrum. Director Raanan Boral's vision is that Israelis in the densest urban population of the country will walk out of their homes and into the park to revive the once-common interest in discovering the secret of the land. For more information see .... , the earlier Ayalon Park website .... or contact Raanan at rnnbrl@gmail.com
