Plant 1,400 native trees around the Jacaranda wetland in Hồ Chí Minh City
A neighborhood-led restoration of the Jacaranda wetland needs $400 for saplings and equipment.
Anywhere in the world1,029 views
The Jacaranda wetland has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 68 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 117 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 $400 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $195
• Tools and protective gear: $95
• Waste removal and skip hire: $105
• Signage and educational materials: $5
Thanks for reading all this.

Sending love. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Málaga.
Keep going, Việt. Looking forward to the next update. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
