Restoring the Baobab riverbank: a volunteer-led project in Lucknow
Help us clean and replant the Baobab riverbank before the May planting window closes.
🇮🇳 Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India467 views
The Baobab riverbank has been used as an informal dump for years. This February, 102 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 82 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the district council, 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 $250 goes:
• Waste removal and skip hire: $50
• Native saplings and stakes: $165
• Signage and educational materials: $35
Every share and every dollar helps.
