Plant 870 native trees around the Lotus riverbank in Thiruvananthapuram
Help us clean and replant the Lotus riverbank before the June planting window closes.
🇮🇳 Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, India750 views
The Lotus riverbank has been used as an informal dump for years. This February, 42 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 190 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: $175
• Tools and protective gear: $65
• Waste removal and skip hire: $50
• Signage and educational materials: $60
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
