Nepal Evergreen has facilitated the planting of 250 almond tree saplings in Bhussinga, located an 8-hour drive from Kathmandu. Farmer Dabal Bahadur Basne collected the two-year-old saplings from a nursery in Kathmandu and led the planting effort with assistance from villagers.

Dable, inspired by his ancestors’ commitment to land conservation, has dedicated himself to reforesting his family’s 3,700-acre terraced farmland, including planting over 3,000 kiwi trees over the last three years, with the help of Nepal Evergreen. His farming practices, which prioritize organic and sustainable methods, have earned recognition and awards.

The newly planted almond trees are expected to yield fruit within two years, contributing to Basne’s vision of a thriving, eco-friendly agricultural enterprise in Nepal. His next objective is to plant 5,000 tea saplings, with the support of Nepal Evergreen.
