Plant 3,850 native trees around the Lotus canal in Vitória da Conquista
A neighborhood-led restoration of the Lotus canal needs $450 for saplings and equipment.
🇧🇷 Vitória da Conquista, Bahia, BrazilPosted Oct 1, 2026741 views
The Lotus canal has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 81 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 138 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 $450 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $210
• Tools and protective gear: $80
• Waste removal and skip hire: $90
• Signage and educational materials: $70
With deep gratitude,
Anderson
