Restoring the Baobab hillside: a volunteer-led project in Lagos
Volunteers are restoring the Baobab hillside in Lagos; $300 covers saplings, tools and waste removal.
🇳🇬 Lagos, Lagos, Nigeria1,788 views
The Baobab hillside has been used as an informal dump for years. This March, 103 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 141 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: $115
• Tools and protective gear: $75
• Waste removal and skip hire: $90
• Signage and educational materials: $20

You're not alone, Ife. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
