Restoring the Maple wetland: a volunteer-led project in Hanoi
Help us clean and replant the Maple wetland before the October planting window closes.
🇻🇳 Hanoi, Hanoi, Vietnam524 views
The Maple wetland has been used as an informal dump for years. This June, 109 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 109 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 $250 goes:
• Waste removal and skip hire: $85
• Native saplings and stakes: $100
• Tools and protective gear: $65
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Hope things get better soon, Vy. More neighborhoods should do this. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Hanoi.
