Nepal
In partnership with Eden Reforestation Projects, we work in Nepal to plant a variety of fast growing trees such as; Teak, Sisso, Acacia, Kadam, Cherasi, Pine, Bakino, Lapsi, Tejpat, etc.

Projects
In partnership with Eden Reforestation Projects, we are working in areas all across Nepal to help the 81% of people who are currently living off the land. Nepal has over 27 endangered species of animals who also rely on this forest.
Total Trees Planted
Nepal is one of the poorest and least developed countries in the world. About one-quarter of its population survives on less than $2 per day. However, the majority of the income is NOT in the form of a cash wage. Instead, their earnings equate to the approximate value earned from agricultural production. To compound matters, the World Factbook reports that 46% of the adult population of Nepal is unemployed.
Deforestation is also a huge issue in Nepal, with radical deforestation being the direct result of desperate people simply trying to survive. In their desperation, they cut down trees for fuel wood, construction lumber, and to form subsistence farms. However, the destruction of their natural environment only multiplies the poverty issue as water tables (underground water) decline, soil erodes, and erosion and flooding occur at alarming rates. That’s the bad news.
The good news is Eden Reforestation Projects (Eden) and tentree have partnered together in Nepal in an effort to alleviate extreme poverty through environmental stewardship through our "employ to plant" initiative. The wage our village employees will receive will empower them to care for their families, even as they continue to work their small plot farms. Our village employees have a very specific job to do – reforest their nation.
By purchasing a tentree product you are supporting this "employ to plant" strategy. The results of this method include entire villages being lifted out of extreme poverty and children being sent to school as well as water tables rising, water purity improving, agricultural production increasing, and wildlife habitat being restored as we replant and protect healthy forest systems.

Acacia Nilotika
This tree restores soil quality and protects land areas with its spiky branches.
Planting Process

Prepare Seedlings
First locals go out and collect seeds from native species that the village elders chose as the trees for reforestation. They then take those seeds and build a community nu

Transport to Site
Once a site has been chosen for planting, locals go and remove debris to prepare the site for planting. This often takes weeks, even months before planting. Once the site is ready, the seedlings are prepared and bagged to take to the site.

Planting
At the site, the community splits up into groups. Each group takes a set number of trees. Those groups then go and cover different areas of the reforestation site. They often split up the job of digging and planting to maximize their time in the field.
