HaMeginim wood, Forest in Mateh Yehuda Regional Council, Israel.

HaMeginim wood is a 3,500-dunam forest of the Jewish National Fund on several hills between 170 and 260 metres above sea level, bounded by Karmei Yosef and Kfar Bin Nun to the north and Beko'a and Nahshon to the south. It holds pines, carob trees, cypresses and olives, plus archaeological remains such as water cisterns, wells, caves, tombs and winepresses. A 4.6 km circular asphalt road runs through it.

The forest developed as part of reforestation efforts in the decades following Israel's establishment as a state. These initiatives aimed to restore woodland cover across the Judean hills region.

The forest holds dozens of memorial sites and plaques for soldiers killed in Israel's wars, some state-run and some private. Among them are a memorial to Israel's second prime minister, Moshe Sharett, at Mitzpe Beqoa, and the Mivzak LeTikva monument to 436 Holocaust survivors of the Gachal who reached the country without family and fell in the 1948 war. A Nord aircraft once stood here for the 317th Paratroopers Brigade; it was dismantled in September 2020 and moved to an aviation museum in the north.

Visitors can access the forest through multiple entry points and should allow time to explore the marked trails throughout the area. Sturdy footwear is advisable as the ground can be uneven and rocky, particularly after rainfall.

A rock found in the forest bears the Hebrew inscription "Tehum Gazr" (border of Gezer) alongside the Greek name "Alkyos", likely from the 2nd century BCE, recording the name of a local landowner. Four more such boundary inscriptions, numbered 5, 7, 8 and 12, can be found within the woodland.
