In 2019, a comprehensive urban nature survey was conducted in Lod, led by the Municipality's Environmental Unit, carried out by the Society for the Protection of Nature, and supported by the Ministry of Environmental Protection.

This activity surveyed 17 nature sites in the city, covering more than 30% of the city's area. It also presented unique species found in the city and endangered species in Israel that manage to survive throughout the City of Lod, including the Sand Lizard, an endangered red species found in a new location in Lod.

The City of Lod is characterized by numerous winter ponds with all the rich diversity they support, as well as unique flowering meadows and rare wall vegetation.

The survey results are very important in light of the City's development and growth, and will be used in construction planning alongside the preservation of the City's diverse natural values and the accessibility of the sites to residents.

As part of making nature in the city accessible and visible, an “interactive map” has been uploaded, showing all the sites, what is located where, and information and knowledge about each location and site in the city.

You can also view the survey's summary , which presents findings, conclusions, and recommendations for preserving existing nature and inviting new nature to Lod.
