Restoring the Cedar riverbank: a volunteer-led project in Gujranwala
A neighborhood-led restoration of the Cedar riverbank needs $250 for saplings and equipment.

The Cedar riverbank has been used as an informal dump for years. This April, 67 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 89 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.
Funds buy saplings, gloves, bags, hire of a skip, and signage.
Where the $250 goes:
• Waste removal and skip hire: $95
• Native saplings and stakes: $90
• Tools and protective gear: $65
Every share and every dollar helps.

Rooting for you, Khalid. Hope this works out for you. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Madrid.
