Environmental Support Program

Nepal’s forest cover has been dwindling at an alarming rate as demand for firewood continues unabated in Nepal. The growing human settlement in forested land and industrialization has also intensified the problems. Many local non-government and international organizations have been raising awareness against the issue. The effect of this campaign can be seen with community forest and local initiative to halt the march of deforestation. Realizing the need of nature conservation, Chhahari-Nepal has planning to start a village nursery in a small rural village (Chitwan) where volunteers prepare seedlings of different plant species and distribute free to local villagers and schools. There are frequent nature preservation awareness and cleaning campaigns also. While working in the project, volunteers can learn a great deal about nature, conservation efforts, work in nursery and awareness drives.
Your Activities as a Volunteer:

Work in the nursery includes seeds collection, sowing, mulching, and watering, trimming, weeding, and related works. The nursery produces seedlings that are later distributed for free to local schools, communities, and villagers for planting in community fields. The CHHAHARI staff will guide you during the project period. Volunteers’ efforts and contributions can create a positive impact on nature and promote environmental conservation.

Project Skills Required: For this project volunteer may need physical efforts, so you should be in good health. Prior conservation experience is not compulsory. We just ask our volunteers to be flexible, enthusiastic, be patient and an open mind.

Chhahari-Nepal manages your entire accommodation, food and supervision during your stay. You will stay either with a host family. In the host family, you’ll have a room for yourself and will be served 3 local meals a day. Staying with a host family provides you with a wonderful opportunity for you to experience Nepali lifestyle. You can even learn to cook Nepali food. Our staffs will visit you your placement in every week. During the visit, we will check on your progress and make sure you’re satisfied.
