Clean water and shade for Mumbai: restoring Sycamore Beach
Help us clean and replant Sycamore Beach before the July planting window closes.
Anywhere in the world818 views
Sycamore Beach has been used as an informal dump for years. This February, 116 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 147 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:
• Waste removal and skip hire: $125
• Native saplings and stakes: $210
• Signage and educational materials: $15
With deep gratitude,
Nirali

Good news. Because of your gifts ($188 in total) the plan for signage and educational materials is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
