Jessore
The Acacia wetland has been used as an informal dump for years. This June, 30 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 70 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 $300 goes: • Native saplings and stakes: $210 • Waste removal and skip hire: $35 • Signage and educational materials: $55 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
