Mapo

The Baobab hillside has been used as an informal dump for years. This July, 54 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 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 $1,200 goes: • Signage and educational materials: $125 • Waste removal and skip hire: $500 • Native saplings and stakes: $575 Thanks for being kind about this. - Mi-sook
