📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

NICE - Never-ending International workCamps Exchange - is an NGO to organize workcamps and other voluntary service projects mainly in Japan. Project is organized with "Akame no Mori wo Sodateru kai", a local environmental NPO for conservation of forest since 1999. Being located near from 2 big cities Osaka and Nagoya, there were some plans to build a golf field and waste disposal site, but local people have stopped them by "Woods Trust" movement. They founded this group in 1996 to collect donations to buy and protect lands, to own a eco-resort hotel to enjoy nature, to maintain forests, to create a pond for dragonflies, to host national copse meeting, etc.

💼 What the programme involves

We will cut down trees in the forest and carry them out. We sometimes need to use blades and machineries with lecture how to use. Work is quite hard from morning to evening even in rain if it's not so heavy. Sometimes, we may have exchange with mentally challenged children who are working here. Volunteers will get knowledge of conservation work in a forest.

🏠 Accommodation on site
