Looking for a place to feel at home in Sri Lanka while contributing to a meaningful NGO project? Make our BASECAMP your base in Sri Lanka—your home away from home. A place to return to when you're tired of travelling, to soak up the local vibe away from tourist crowds. If you love forest gazing or want your travels to give back to the environment, this is the place for you. This particular volunteering project is an ecosystem restoration (reforestation) effort on a 50-acre degraded hill, with the potential to expand to 250 acres. We're literally growing a rainforest from scratch. What was once a burnt, barren slope is already transforming into a thriving, green landscape. We need passionate volunteers to plant trees during the rainy season, remove invasive species, and water young plants...
