Another focus of project SERVE, financed by Tea Campaign, is maintaining the water catchment area at Senchal Wildlife Sanctuary. The Sanctuary, established in 1915, comprises an area of 38 square kilometers around Tiger Hill. It is home to many rare and endangered species.

Located about 6 miles south-east of Darjeeling City, the Sanctuary is crucial for the water supply of the town. In 2007, about 40,000 seedlings were planted in the catchment area.  A local tree nursery has been established to provide the seedlings. Since the area is infested with bamboo, regular clearing and maintenance work is necessary for the plantings to survive. Maintenance and protection of Senchal Wildlife Sanctuary are supervised by an Eco Development Committee.

Among project SERVE’s ecological activities in Darjeeling is the planting of shade trees. Tea bushes require shade. It boosts the flavor, the color, and the yield of the tea harvested. Project SERVE, in cooperation with the WWF India, has been planting different species of shade trees to improve the biodiversity of the tea gardens. The tree seedlings are raised in the project’s own nursery. 70,000 shade trees were planted in 2007.
