Plant 2,700 native trees around the Lotus wetland in Munich
Help us clean and replant the Lotus wetland before the September planting window closes.
🇩🇪 Germany2,254 views
The Lotus wetland has been used as an informal dump for years. This July, 70 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 132 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.
We'll post planting day photos and a count of every sapling planted.
Where the $2,000 goes:
• Signage and educational materials: $80
• Native saplings and stakes: $1,450
• Waste removal and skip hire: $470
Glad we found this place.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Theresa?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about signage and educational materials, advice is welcome too. Thanks, that means a lot.

Sending strength, Theresa. Your post was clear and honest. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Theresa!
Signage and educational materials is $80 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Happy to explain more.
take care, Theresa. More neighborhoods should do this. Love from Narayanganj
So sorry you're going through this, Theresa. This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
