Clean streams for Lagos: restoring the Harmony wetland
A neighborhood-led restoration of the Harmony wetland needs $200 for saplings and equipment.
🇳🇬 Lagos, Lagos, Nigeria490 views
The Harmony wetland has been used as an informal dump for years. This March, 55 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 114 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 $200 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $80
• Waste removal and skip hire: $75
• Signage and educational materials: $45
Glad we found this place.
