Restoring the Liberty riverbank: a volunteer-led project in Rawalpindi
Help us clean and replant the Liberty riverbank before the November planting window closes.
🇵🇰 Rawalpindi, Punjab, Pakistan1,196 views
The Liberty riverbank has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 77 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 179 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: $185
• Tools and protective gear: $25
• Waste removal and skip hire: $60
• Signage and educational materials: $30
Every share and every dollar helps.
