Plant 3,250 native trees around the Lotus wetland in Lahore
Volunteers are restoring the Lotus wetland in Lahore; $200 covers saplings, tools and waste removal.
🇵🇰 Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan363 views
The Lotus wetland has been used as an informal dump for years. This July, 61 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 164 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.
We'll post planting day photos and a count of every sapling planted.
Where the $200 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $55
• Tools and protective gear: $35
• Waste removal and skip hire: $90
• Signage and educational materials: $20
Glad we found this place.

Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Blessings
Good luck, Rashid. I hope things turn around soon!
take care, Rashid. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Stay strong, Rashid. Hope you get there. Please keep us posted. God bless
