Clean water and shade for Dharan: restoring the Jacaranda wetland
A neighborhood-led restoration of the Jacaranda wetland needs $350 for saplings and equipment.
🇳🇵 Nepal588 views
The Jacaranda wetland has been used as an informal dump for years. This June, 41 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 64 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the local forestry office, 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 $350 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $165
• Tools and protective gear: $40
• Waste removal and skip hire: $100
• Signage and educational materials: $45
