Clean water and shade for Jaipur: restoring Jacaranda Beach
Help us clean and replant Jacaranda Beach before the November planting window closes.
Anywhere in the world815 views
Jacaranda Beach has been used as an informal dump for years. This July, 50 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 196 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 $300 goes:
• Tools and protective gear: $80
• Native saplings and stakes: $160
• Waste removal and skip hire: $60
Glad we found this place.

23% there. I met with the nursery and confirmed the amounts. Thank you.
We're at 23% thanks to 4 of you. the plan for waste removal and skip hire is now scheduled. More news soon. - Sundar
Good news. Because of your gifts ($50 in total) I made the first payment toward native saplings and stakes. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Sundar.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. tools and protective gear is the biggest at $80. Thanks for asking.
Good luck, Sundar. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Jaipur.
you're not alone. Great idea, hope you get there. Blessings.
