Kibbutz members at Nir David in the Beit She'an Valley voted for the first time to open the section of the river that passes through its grounds to the general Israeli public. Given the mass number of citizens who have been flocking to Israel's nature reserves and national parks, often shattering the tranquility of many places, it will be interesting to see how the decision plays out. On an ethical level, I'm proud of this move, but hope that the overall quality of the area's natural beauty and surrounding ecosystem won't be compromised.
