Clean air and water for Nha Trang: restoring the Jacaranda hillside
A neighborhood-led restoration of the Jacaranda hillside needs $150 for saplings and equipment.
🇻🇳 Nha Trang, Khánh Hòa, Vietnam794 views
The Jacaranda hillside has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 48 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 40 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the city parks department, 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 $150 goes:
• Tools and protective gear: $30
• Waste removal and skip hire: $70
• Signage and educational materials: $50
Thanks for being kind about this.

Thank you. If you're in Nha Trang I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for looking so closely.
Wishing you peace, Trinh. Hope this works out for you
