Conservation Project Nepal
Trip code: NPL5
 Deforestation, land fragmentation, and desertification are major environmental problems that Nepal is facing. Rustic Volunteer Travel 's 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. This is a perfect project for environmental enthusiasts and who are committed to environment conservation and, moreover, who are willing to devote their time and wealth to ensure the program's success. Volunteers/travelers will have the unique opportunity to be a part of something that will benefit the region as well as its next generation.

| Project/Volunteer's Life: |
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 trees and inventory of fauna and flora depending on the season
Rustic Volunteer Travel 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 . |

| Project Locations: |
 Conservation projects are available in Kathmandu (capital city of Nepal with places of great tourist attractions like Thamel, Patan, Swaymbhu, etc.) and Chitwan (Royal Bengal Tiger and the Great One Horned Rhino Mt Everest) , with shops, banks & internet cafes nearby. Nepal is renowned for its spectacular landscape and deep, exotic culture. It's full of contrasts: from traditional culture and history of houses made up of a tight bamboo framework with mud and cow-dung walls to modern urban infrastructure and much of the amenities you would expect from a city.
Volunteers can organize different possible excursions during and after the project to visit places of interest. There is a tourist infrastructure already in place the volunteer can use during weekends. For example: hiking, biking, palaces, art, temples, mountains, national parks, restaurants, hotels, clubs and many more. |
