Plant 1,800 native trees around the Pioneer wetland in Montego Bay
Volunteers are restoring the Pioneer wetland in Montego Bay; $600 covers saplings, tools and waste removal.

The Pioneer wetland has been used as an informal dump for years. This March, 37 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 63 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.
Funds buy saplings, gloves, bags, hire of a skip, and signage.
Where the $600 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $270
• Tools and protective gear: $105
• Waste removal and skip hire: $175
• Signage and educational materials: $50
Thank you so much.
