Plant 3,700 native trees around the Union hillside in Dhaka
A neighborhood-led restoration of the Union hillside needs $150 for saplings and equipment.
🇧🇩 Dhaka, Dhaka, Bangladesh1,084 views
The Union hillside has been used as an informal dump for years. This July, 98 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 129 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 $150 goes:
• Signage and educational materials: $30
• Tools and protective gear: $25
• Waste removal and skip hire: $95
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Rina
Signage and educational materials is $30 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. I'll keep the page updated.
thanks for sharing this, Rina. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Thinking of Dhaka.
I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care
