Plant 3,800 native trees around the Jacaranda canal in Gaya
A neighborhood-led restoration of the Jacaranda canal needs $200 for saplings and equipment.

The Jacaranda canal has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 101 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 162 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 $200 goes:
• Tools and protective gear: $65
• Signage and educational materials: $35
• Native saplings and stakes: $100
I hope life is good to you.

Best of luck, Vinayak. Great idea, hope you get there.
Take care, Vinayak. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Put this on a community board in London this morning.
Hang in there, Vinayak. I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 34 people at work. Take care!
