[1] Today, there are approximately 12 field schools across Israel, located in proximity to nature reserves from Mount Hermon[2] in the north to Eilat[3] in the south.
By 1966, there were seven field schools in Israel: Ein Gedi, Sde Boker, Eilat, Hof HaCarmel, Mount Meron, Western Galilee, and Moshav Bar Giora.
The Society for the Protection of Nature in Israel (SPNI) guides, both young and experienced, are based in these field schools, deeply connected to the environment and its dynamics, and accompany hikers along the area's trails and landscapes.
[7] Each year, thousands of visitors stay at field schools, including families, school students, young adults, and older individuals, benefiting from guided tours led by specialists in their fields and regions.
Some of the annual high school trips in Israel, organized as part of outdoor education classes (Shelach), which span several days and require lodging and guiding services, utilize field schools for these purposes.
