Restoring the Harmony hillside: a volunteer-led project in Warangal
Volunteers are restoring the Harmony hillside in Warangal; $300 covers saplings, tools and waste removal.

The Harmony hillside has been used as an informal dump for years. This April, 68 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 126 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the local forestry office, 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 $300 goes:
• Tools and protective gear: $80
• Waste removal and skip hire: $105
• Native saplings and stakes: $115
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Thank you. If you're in Warangal I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Let me know if you want more detail.
Hope things get better soon. This could happen to any of us. I hope June is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Saket
