Plant 3,500 native trees around the Maple riverbank in Duque de Caxias
A neighborhood-led restoration of the Maple riverbank needs $550 for saplings and equipment.

The Maple riverbank has been used as an informal dump for years. This July, 40 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 93 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the district council, 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 $550 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $270
• Waste removal and skip hire: $160
• Tools and protective gear: $120
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
