Simply Darjeeling!

Replanting trees is one major activity of project SERVE. It is essential for reversing soil erosion on the steep slopes of Darjeeling. Degraded areas are identified and surveyed, weeds are cleaned away, and pits dug before the monsoon rain starts. Seedlings are raised in the project’s own nursery and supplied through local committees or groups.

82,500 seedlings were planted in 2007.
