Plant 3,000 native trees around Maple Beach in Howrah
A neighborhood-led restoration of Maple Beach needs $200 for saplings and equipment.
🇮🇳 Howrah, West Bengal, India967 views
Maple Beach has been used as an informal dump for years. This June, 48 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 196 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.
Funds buy saplings, gloves, bags, hire of a skip, and signage.
Where the $200 goes:
• Signage and educational materials: $10
• Waste removal and skip hire: $145
• Tools and protective gear: $45
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Good luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't give up!
Praying for you, Priya. Hope you get there. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings
