Plant 4,200 native trees around the Baobab riverbank in Leeds
A neighborhood-led restoration of the Baobab riverbank needs $1,650 for saplings and equipment.
🇬🇧 Leeds, England, United Kingdom1,428 views
The Baobab riverbank has been used as an informal dump for years. This July, 73 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 157 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the city parks department, 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 $1,650 goes:
• Waste removal and skip hire: $460
• Tools and protective gear: $360
• Native saplings and stakes: $830
Thank you so much.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Meena.
It's all in the list in the story. waste removal and skip hire is the big one at $460, I'll post a receipt when it's paid.
Sending love, Meena. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
