🌳Nepal Evergreen is a volunteer-led initiative dedicated to planting diverse trees and crops across rural Nepal. By restoring natural habitats, promoting sustainable agriculture, and involving local communities, the project boosts biodiversity, supports livelihoods, and offsets carbon emissions—especially those linked to tourism.

🌱Launched in 2020, Nepal Evergreen began by delivering 10,000 fruit tree saplings to schools rebuilt by the Juniper Trust after the 2015 earthquake. Local residents joined the effort, planting and caring for trees near schools and farms to benefit their communities.

🌲Between 2021 and 2024, the initiative expanded, distributing over 30,000 saplings of fruit and native trees including lemon, apple, peach, walnut, lychee, and Sichuan pepper.

Species like bamboo and lokta (used in traditional papermaking), as well as 15,000 tea plants and 3,000 walnut trees in the Kinja Valley, were introduced to support reforestation and the local economy.

🍊In 2024, Nepal Evergreen celebrated its first community harvest of kiwis, lemons, oranges, and avocados. Beyond planting, the program helps farmers market their produce locally, creating sustainable income streams and strengthening food security.

🌍 In 2025, a new partnership with ONCRA (Organic Carbon Research Association) brings advanced soil carbon testing and organic agriculture research to the project, deepening its impact on climate resilience and regenerative farming across Nepal.

♻️ What Your Donation Does

A $25 (£20) donation helps us plant and care for 10 trees, with a built-in buffer for replanting and early-stage care to ensure strong survival.

Over a lifespan of 25 to 40 years, each tree can absorb between 250 and 600 kilograms of carbon dioxide. Altogether, your 10 trees could offset up to 5 tons of CO₂, making a meaningful contribution to climate action and environmental restoration.

✈️ Offsetting an International Flight to Nepal

A return economy-class flight to Nepal can emit around 4 to 5 tons of CO₂ per person. With a donation of just $25, you can help plant and care for 10 trees that will offset up to 5 tons of carbon dioxide over their lifetime — effectively balancing the emissions from your journey.

In doing so, you’re not just addressing your carbon footprint; you’re also helping to feed families, restore degraded land, and support climate resilience in one of the world’s most beautiful and vulnerable mountain regions.
