Work

We will plant trees and some renovation work at Mongolian workCamps Exchange`s camp and some other places.
This is the only season in Mongolia to plant trees. There are increasing activities by some organizations to plant trees but it takes a hundred or more years to be grown, so we should also join this movement by global power! Part of Greening Asia

Accomodation and food

GER (Mongolian traditional tent) or house. Very warm sleeping bag! Cooked by volunteers. Shower is available all the time

Location and leisure

Ulaanbaatar. Half of the population in the country (3.2 million) live in this capital city.
The temperature will be about 10-20 C, But be careful sometimes the weather will be changed a lot. Sunny, sometimes rainy, and windy. Buhug river is located 45 km far from Ulaanbaatar.

Project hosted by

Organized together with NICE (Never-ending International workCamps Exchange) and supported by Greening Asia fund since 2002. The forest problem is serious also in Mongolia. Before 1990, the forests covered 10% of the land, but 7% today. It's caused by cutting trees without any control, forest fire, and global warming. Another side takes a long time to grow trees in Mongolia and May and the middle of October is the only season to plant trees in Mongolia.

Directions to meeting point

We will pick up volunteers from the airport or train station on arrival according to request of volunteers.

Additional comments

To like planting work and simple nomadic life. Mongolian speakers are welcome!

Work

The main works are planting vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, radishes, etc at the eco-farming camp. Also, volunteers may work on making fences to protect the farm, etc. Quite tiring but let's enjoy it.

Accomodation and food

Summer house or Mongolian traditional tents which is GER (traditional tent). Need to bring Sleeping bag. Cooked by volunteers with a local staff.

Location and leisure

Cultural exchange program, excursions, etc.

Project hosted by

Since 2000 we have had volunteers around the world joining our summer programs which were designed around building sustainable vegetable farming facilities. Over the years we have learned that developing eco-friendly and sustainable farming facilities does require a lot of research on improving our farming methods, learning the best practices from local farmers on improving the crop quality and perseverance despite the setbacks which were imminent in harsh Mongolian continental climate, with long, frigid winters and short, warm summers.
We are hoping to transform our eco-friendly vegetable farming facility into a sustainable organic farming training center which teaches the low income families how to grow healthy greens on their own. Organic fruits and vegetables are sparse and expensive in Mongolia which makes them unaffordable for many low income families. We are planning to donate any crops from our facilities to families in need in addition to providing them with the knowledge of how to grow their own crops.

Directions to meeting point

We will pick volunteers up from the airport or train station according to request of volunteers.

Additional comments

45 km from Ulaanbaatar. Place name is “BUHUG”. The sight is just unbelievably beautiful, typical Mongolian plain.
