Clean streets and rivers for Aurangabad: restoring the Sycamore hillside

The Sycamore hillside has been used as an informal dump for years. This September, 44 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 177 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 $150 goes: • Signage and educational materials: $15 • Waste removal and skip hire: $45 • Tools and protective gear: $90 Thanks for being kind about this. - Rohan
