During the summer of 2022, Ramat Hanadiv established the Pinecone Centre, an R&D centre for sustainability education.

The centre runs innovative, experimental education programmes on the main educational issues at Ramat Hanadiv – reducing the ecological footprint, field investigations, and out-of-class learning. Alongside its development and implementation, each programme is accompanied by a professional, in-depth evaluation study to examine the short- and long-term impact of the programme on the target audience and fine-tune the programme’s structure.

At the end of the evaluation process the programme with the greatest value and positive impact is disseminated widely (free of charge) to stakeholders throughout the country – green organizations, government ministries and local authorities.
