Plant 971 native trees around the Acacia wetland in San Miguel de Tucumán

The Acacia wetland has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 33 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 87 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 $700 goes: • Native saplings and stakes: $320 • Tools and protective gear: $145 • Waste removal and skip hire: $195 • Signage and educational materials: $40 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
