Plant 4,950 native trees around Union Beach in Rajkot
Help us clean and replant Union Beach before the June planting window closes.
🇮🇳 Rajkot, Gujarat, India1,318 views
Union Beach has been used as an informal dump for years. This March, 113 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 159 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 $410 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $210
• Tools and protective gear: $85
• Waste removal and skip hire: $110
• Signage and educational materials: $5
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Sending good thoughts. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 18 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care!
So sorry you're going through this. Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Rajkot.
Sending good thoughts, Ganesh. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Rajkot.
