Environmental Conservation or Eco-Work

Nepal’s natural environment has been deteriorating day by day under the growing demand of trees. In the past few years, thousand of hectors of land have been disappeared due to the soil erosion. To promote conservation work in Nepal, RCDP conducts a small village-based nursery in various areas of Chitwan. Work in this conservation project is physically demanding.

Your Activities as a Volunteer:

Work in the nursery includes seed collection, sowing, mulching, and watering, trimming, weeding, and related work. The nursery projects produce seedlings that are later distributed to local schools, communities, and villagers for planting in community fields in free of cost. Nursery managers for RCDP guide all volunteers during the project period. Volunteers’ effort and contribution may create a positive impact for the promotion and protection of environmental conservation.

While Volunteering overseas in conservation sector in Nepal, you may find yourself on a working holiday in a spectacular location with local people who carry out wildlife conservation, environmental conservation or historical preservation.
