Plant 2,050 native trees around Harmony Beach in Jabalpur
Help us clean and replant Harmony Beach before the September planting window closes.
🇮🇳 Madhya Pradesh, India619 views
Harmony Beach has been used as an informal dump for years. This June, 100 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 114 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the municipal water board, 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: $240
• Tools and protective gear: $80
• Waste removal and skip hire: $65
• Signage and educational materials: $15
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Parth
Sure. The biggest one is native saplings and stakes, $240. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks for looking so closely.
Thinking of you and your family, Parth. Your post was clear and honest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.
