Restoring the Pioneer wetland: a volunteer-led project in Mandaue

Volunteers are restoring the Pioneer wetland in Mandaue; $450 covers saplings, tools and waste removal.

The Pioneer wetland has been used as an informal dump for years. This April, 66 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 100 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. We'll post planting day photos and a count of every sapling planted. Where the $450 goes: • Waste removal and skip hire: $100 • Native saplings and stakes: $300 • Signage and educational materials: $50 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Carlo
