Plant 4,600 native trees around the Acacia hillside in Prayagraj
A neighborhood-led restoration of the Acacia hillside needs $350 for saplings and equipment.
Anywhere in the world816 views
The Acacia hillside has been used as an informal dump for years. This May, 55 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.
Funds buy saplings, gloves, bags, hire of a skip, and signage.
Where the $350 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $190
• Tools and protective gear: $65
• Waste removal and skip hire: $65
• Signage and educational materials: $30
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hope this works out for you. Put this on a community board in Davao City this morning. God bless.
you're not alone, Jignesh. More neighborhoods should do this. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Detroit!
Good luck, Jignesh. Great idea, hope you get there. After 30 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Hope it all works out. Hope you get there. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Mysuru.
