Plant 2,400 native trees around the Freedom canal in Ogbomosho
A neighborhood-led restoration of the Freedom canal needs $200 for saplings and equipment.
🇳🇬 Nigeria1,585 views
The Freedom canal has been used as an informal dump for years. This October, 68 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 163 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 $200 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $120
• Signage and educational materials: $30
• Tools and protective gear: $50
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
Updates from Adaeze
