Clean air and water for Poznań: restoring the Baobab wetland
Volunteers are restoring the Baobab wetland in Poznań; $1,000 covers saplings, tools and waste removal.
🇵🇱 Poznań, Greater Poland, Poland1,943 views
The Baobab wetland has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 71 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 200 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.
We'll post planting day photos and a count of every sapling planted.
Where the $1,000 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $640
• Waste removal and skip hire: $135
• Tools and protective gear: $225
Thanks for reading all this.

Take care, Mariusz. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Islamabad this morning. Blessings.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Mariusz?
Thank you. If you're in Poznań I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for asking.
best of luck, Mariusz. Shared it with a few friends. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.

Hope things get better soon. Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor in Mumbai donated after I showed her your page. All the best
your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Hồ Chí Minh City so I could bring a meal. All the best.

Hang in there. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Thinking of Poznań
Sending good thoughts, Mariusz. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
