JNF has as its primary goals the development and conservation of land for the benefit of the Jewish people, the maintenance of Israel's environment and the improvement of the quality of life in Israel. Some of JNFs contributions include 200 million trees over an area of 800,000 dunams of planted forests, 400,000 dunams of natural woodlands and more than 20 reservoirs.

In Australia, the JNF undertakes extensive promotional campaigns to raise funds for projects and to increase community responsiveness to its work. Special Zionist, ecological and other educational programs are designed to ensure JNF continuity into the future. The JNF commenced activities in Australia in the early 1900s and is considered the most successful Blue Box collection country in the world returning over 80% of the monies collected back to Israel.

JNF promotes the greening the State of Israel through the creation, improvement and maintenance of forests and the preservation of natural landscapes and open spaces.

JNF helps in land development, conservation and reclamation, including in rural and arid areas.

JNF leads the way in conservation and expansion of water resources, drainage and rehabilitation of river systems, for the good of Israel and the entire region.
