Help us clean and replant the Jacaranda wetland before the November planting window closes.

The Jacaranda wetland has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 112 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 126 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.
We'll post planting day photos and a count of every sapling planted.
Where the $200 goes:
• Waste removal and skip hire: $65
• Native saplings and stakes: $90
• Signage and educational materials: $45
With deep gratitude,
Bukola

Thinking of you, Bukola. Looking forward to the next update. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Surabaya
Thinking of you. Your post was clear and honest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Aurangabad!
More neighborhoods should do this. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Thane
