Restoring the Liberty wetland: a volunteer-led project in Ikeja
Help us clean and replant the Liberty wetland before the March planting window closes.
🇳🇬 Nigeria533 views
The Liberty wetland has been used as an informal dump for years. This December, 111 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 62 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 $300 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $165
• Tools and protective gear: $90
• Signage and educational materials: $45
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
