Plant 1,750 native trees around Acacia Beach in Lagos

Acacia Beach has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 117 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 106 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. We'll post planting day photos and a count of every sapling planted. Where the $150 goes: • Tools and protective gear: $65 • Signage and educational materials: $30 • Waste removal and skip hire: $55 If you're reading this, thank you. - Kehinde
