Corporate Employee Volunteering
Engaging your employees environmentally....
We provide customized employee volunteering opportunities across major cities in the field of environment. We tie up with local NGOs for execution of such activities.
We offer following half/full day activities:
Tree plantation | Clean-up drives (lakes, public parks, forest tracks) | Deweeding | Seed collection | Kitchen Gardening | Development of animal shelter | Tree tagging | Nature trail development | Bund-building | Contour bunding for water conservation
We make it fun for teams to bond
We ensure our volunteer work as teams. We devise works as per the team strength. Here the volunteers are engrossed in developing nesting material boxes for birds.
It's not always about work
We treat our volunteers with a nature trail on whichever location they volunteer. So that they develop compassion for the site where they slog to improve.
Developing CSR Projects
We convert tree plantation CSR projects of corporate clients into Butterfly Habitats
We identify sites where a butterfly habitat could be developed. We enter in to partnership with site partner which could Govt.. NGO or Educational Institutions. We also engage a NGO partner. We develop proposal and pitch ideas to potential clients. We conduct the ground work on getting the project sanctioned which comes to the NGO partner. We then execute the project on behalf of the NGO partner. We do monitoring and reporting for the corporate client on quarterly basis. Our monitoring and evaluation works include status of plant survival rate and increase in butterfly population at the site. In most of our existing sites we have seen an increase of 10-20% butterfly diversity.
Employee Volunteers at Project Site
We design the project execution as well as the maintenance works of the butterfly site keeping the employee engagement component in mind.
Community Engagement
We also include local community engagement wherein we conduct free butterfly awareness programmes for local schools and colleges.
