Clean air and water for Gazipur: restoring the Maple hillside
Help us clean and replant the Maple hillside before the July planting window closes.

The Maple hillside has been used as an informal dump for years. This March, 53 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 179 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the district council, including native species selected by a local botanist.
The area floods more each year, and fish have returned for the first time in a decade after our first cleanup. Restoring it will protect homes and bring back shade.
All the labor is volunteered. We just need materials.
Funds buy saplings, gloves, bags, hire of a skip, and signage.
Where the $200 goes:
• Tools and protective gear: $60
• Native saplings and stakes: $95
• Signage and educational materials: $45
Thanks for being kind about this.

Thanks for sharing this, Babu. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out.
