One of the most innovative projects in the initiation of what
we expect to be an annual tree planting festival in Nepal.
Buddhas birthday usually occurs around mid-April which also
coincides with the beginning of the tree planting season in
the Nepal Himalayas. Trekkers with Journeys will travel
north into the Himalayas near Gorkha and establish a camp
in the community of Sirandanda. Here we have made arrangements
with the local Buddhist Monastery to establish a community
forestry project in cooperation with local people. Eventually,
the project will include a nursery, a large secure enclosure
and a festival site where local people will come to celebrate
the Buddha's Birthday and learn about starting their own overstay
projects.
