In November 2021, Juniper Trust volunteers in Nepal, distributed the final 4,000 fruit trees, of 10,000 in 2021, to 600 families in Nepal’s Kinja Valley. The saplings, a mixture of Walnut, Peach, Plum, Pear, and Apricot, were ordered 6 months ago from nurseries in the Kathmandu Valley. The trees are part of a reforestation project and will provide fruit and nuts for the villages for up to 25 years.
20,000 more saplings have been ordered for delivery in 2022/23 , 10,000 will be given to villagers to plant in their own lands and 5,000 will be planted in 2 new orchards in Maili village and in land adjacent to Junbesi School in the Solu Khumbu. This very worthwhile initiative has had an incredible positive response in Nepal.
