Plant 3,400 native trees around the Harmony wetland in Campinas
Help us clean and replant the Harmony wetland before the November planting window closes.
🇧🇷 Campinas, São Paulo, Brazil500 views
The Harmony wetland has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 114 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 98 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 $750 goes:
• Waste removal and skip hire: $185
• Signage and educational materials: $65
• Native saplings and stakes: $500
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
