Clean streets and rivers for Makassar: restoring the Maple riverbank
Volunteers are restoring the Maple riverbank in Makassar; $450 covers saplings, tools and waste removal.
🇮🇩 Makassar, South Sulawesi, Indonesia312 views
The Maple riverbank has been used as an informal dump for years. This July, 79 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 185 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the district council, 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 $450 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $270
• Tools and protective gear: $80
• Waste removal and skip hire: $70
• Signage and educational materials: $30
