Restoring the Union wetland: a volunteer-led project in New Delhi
A neighborhood-led restoration of the Union wetland needs $200 for saplings and equipment.

The Union wetland has been used as an informal dump for years. This June, 91 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 105 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.
Funds buy saplings, gloves, bags, hire of a skip, and signage.
Where the $200 goes:
• Waste removal and skip hire: $55
• Signage and educational materials: $20
• Native saplings and stakes: $125
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
