Reforestation of hill slopes owned by community and raising of trees on farmlands to meet the fuelwood requirements.

Project goals or objectives are to prevent soil erosion and global warming by contributing towards self-efficiency of fuel wood production,

To conserve biological diversity by providing regenerated habitats for endangered species and enforcing strict bans on hunting and cutting of natural forests

To realize the above objectives, the following multi-purpose activities will be implemented, establishment of a 5 kanal mixed nursery, Slope plantation on 100 kanals barren land, appointment of a nursery & plantation supervisor to implement the project Deposit of endowment fund (Rs. 100,000) to partly meet ongoing expenses of the project.

The envisioned results will be a considerable contribution towards fuel/timber wood self-sufficiency,
long-term regeneration of natural forests, providing habitats for endangered species, the establishment of a pine plantation for long-term, self-sustainable utilization for generations to come, and the protection of wildlife to maintain the balance of the fragile Himalayan eco-system.
