About the Program
As
a volunteer with this program, you will learn about all aspects of
conservation. You will work with organizations on a wide range of
conservation initiatives such as assisting with site restoration,
planting of trees, maintenance of planting areas, and administrative
assistance.
We welcome volunteers who are interested in working with the nursery area of our projects.
Volunteers will assist with: tree nursery, transplanting, choosing
seedlings, adding seed bags, adding water to the nursery, and fetching
water.
Participants will either work with the Wildlife Division or Ghana Forestry.
Location
Ghana is a peaceful and welcoming country; Ghana satisfies one's appetite for both modern and traditional life. Its wide valleys, low-lying coastal plains, and thick rainforests resound with the beat of traditional rituals, while her cities glow and vibrate with all the bustle of the modern world. The Ghanaians are the friendliest people in West Africa: warm, proud yet humble with a contagious and calming sense of funniness.
Ghana is hot. It is always hot. What’s more, it's always humid. Humidity usually lingers between 95 and 100 percent. The rainy season lasts from mid-June to mid-November - sometimes. The rain provides a little respite from the intense heat, but temperatures will still be in the mid-80s Fahrenheit. The south of the country experiences the heaviest rainfall during September.
