Conservation work
Deforestation,
land fragmentation, and desertification are major environmental
problems that Nepal is facing. Our local partner in Chitwan has
established a community nursery program aiming to distribute
indigenous tree seedlings for free to local farmers, schools,
communities, and NGOs. As a volunteer in the conservation work
project in Nepal , you support the activities of this community
nursery. The works in nursery includes: digging, filling plastic
bags, weeding, irrigating, and related works. Volunteers working
in a conservation project also work in the nearby vegetable
gardens which produce vegetable for local orphans.
What skills
do I need for this program ?
There are no
specific qualifications for joining the conservation project in
Nepal . However, volunteers interested in joining the
conservation project should be ready for physically demanding
work.
What are my
responsibility ?
Volunteers
working in a conservation project in Nepal will engage
themselves in nursery works and care of seedlings and these
nurtured seeds will later be distributed to the villagers in
various parts of Nepal . The works include: digging, preparing
nursery beds, sowing seeds, weeding, trimming, pruning, filling
plastic bags, applying water, and any work related to nursery.
Other tasks may include planting, collecting seeds, replanting,
eliminating diseased tress and inventory of fauna and flora
depending on the season
ERN presently
supports a small orphanage and school in Chitwan. So, volunteers
working in a conservation project can teach English or work in
the orphanage in free time. This can be arranged up on your
arrival in Nepal .
Where do i
stay during the project
During
volunteering in a conservation project, you will stay in a host
family near to the project. Host families will offer a separate
room but you will share bath room and rest room with the host
family. You can find the details of arrangement for room/food in
placement sheets provided to you. ERN's Chitwan office is
located near to the nursery project so you will be in constant
touch with our local field staff.
