Baobab Beach has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 96 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 91 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 $300 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $95
• Tools and protective gear: $50
• Waste removal and skip hire: $105
• Signage and educational materials: $50
Glad we found this place.

Hang in there, Yamuna. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. All the best
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Yamuna.
It's all in the list in the story. native saplings and stakes is the big one at $95, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks for asking.
More neighborhoods should do this. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
is there anything that isn't money that would help Yamuna?
Thank you. If you're in Aurangabad I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.
wishing you the best, Yamuna. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too.

Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
