Clean streams for Siliguri: restoring Cedar Beach

A neighborhood-led restoration of Cedar Beach needs $250 for saplings and equipment.

Siliguri
Cedar Beach has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 48 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 96 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 $250 goes: • Waste removal and skip hire: $90 • Signage and educational materials: $40 • Native saplings and stakes: $120 Glad we found this place.

    Hope things get better soon, Sakshi. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.

      Sending good thoughts, Sakshi. Shared it with a few friends. I hope October is when things finally get easier. God bless

        wishing you peace, Sakshi. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
