Plant 903 native trees around Baobab Beach in Madrid
Help us clean and replant Baobab Beach before the August planting window closes.
🇪🇸 Madrid, Madrid, Spain1,362 views
Baobab Beach has been used as an informal dump for years. This June, 43 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 92 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the municipal water board, 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 $1,000 goes:
• Waste removal and skip hire: $570
• Signage and educational materials: $100
• Tools and protective gear: $330
Thank you for reading my story.

good luck, Nicolás. Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.

Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Thinking of Madrid
Best of luck, Nicolás. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
Hope things get better soon. Hope this works out for you. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
