Plant 4,750 native trees around the Jacaranda canal in Pune
A neighborhood-led restoration of the Jacaranda canal needs $350 for saplings and equipment.
🇮🇳 Maharashtra, India491 views
The Jacaranda canal has been used as an informal dump for years. This September, 113 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 41 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: $45
• Waste removal and skip hire: $100
• Signage and educational materials: $15
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Wishing you the best, Yash. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Bacoor.
More neighborhoods should do this. Blessings
