Plant 865 native trees around the Cedar wetland in Dar es Salaam

The Cedar wetland has been used as an informal dump for years. This February, 41 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 95 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 $150 goes: • Signage and educational materials: $25 • Tools and protective gear: $60 • Native saplings and stakes: $65 Thanks for reading all this.
