This certificate was issued by JNF-KKL in honor of the planting of seven trees in the King George V Jubilee Forest. The trees were planted in the name of Maurice Pearlman by the High Wycombe Zionist Society in 1941. The forest was initially planted to commemorate King George V’s Silver Jubilee, 25 years of the king’s reign from 1910 to 1935.
In the center of the certificate is a drawing of a man showing two boys how to plant trees. One boy is holding a spade and the other a sickle, and in front of them are four holes waiting for the trees to be planted. A woman carrying two watering cans watches them from afar. The fields and mountains in the background are reminiscent of the scenery in the north of Israel. Around the drawing is a frame that is decorated with the Star of David and with different arrangements of olive, almond, and palm branches, all trees found in Israel.
