Clean water and shade for Noida: restoring Cedar Beach
A neighborhood-led restoration of Cedar Beach needs $400 for saplings and equipment.
🇮🇳 Noida, Uttar Pradesh, India1,159 views
Cedar Beach has been used as an informal dump for years. This December, 58 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 155 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 $400 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $240
• Tools and protective gear: $35
• Waste removal and skip hire: $75
• Signage and educational materials: $50
I hope life is good to you.
Updates from Kavitha
Quick update: $278 raised so far (70%). the plan for tools and protective gear is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Thank you all. We're at 23% now ($90). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward signage and educational materials.
