Restoring the Baobab canal: a volunteer-led project in Bengaluru
A neighborhood-led restoration of the Baobab canal needs $200 for saplings and equipment.
🇮🇳 India910 views
The Baobab canal has been used as an informal dump for years. This May, 88 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 60 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 $200 goes:
• Tools and protective gear: $75
• Signage and educational materials: $35
• Waste removal and skip hire: $90
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
