Plant 3,050 native trees around Maple Beach in Belo Horizonte
Help us clean and replant Maple Beach before the December planting window closes.
🇧🇷 Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil1,234 views
Maple Beach has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 55 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 50 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 $700 goes:
• Waste removal and skip hire: $165
• Tools and protective gear: $120
• Native saplings and stakes: $415
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Hang in there, Kelly. Shared it with a few friends. After 23 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings
