Plant 4,000 native trees around Lotus Creek in Guarulhos
Help us clean and replant Lotus Creek before the December planting window closes.
🇧🇷 Brazil1,615 views
Lotus Creek has been used as an informal dump for years. This October, 95 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 137 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.
We'll post planting day photos and a count of every sapling planted.
Where the $900 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $600
• Tools and protective gear: $90
• Waste removal and skip hire: $125
• Signage and educational materials: $85
Thanks for being kind about this.

Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Swansea
