Restoring the Unity wetland: a volunteer-led project in Pune
Help us clean and replant the Unity wetland before the June planting window closes.
🇮🇳 Maharashtra, India672 views
The Unity wetland has been used as an informal dump for years. This March, 115 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.
We'll post planting day photos and a count of every sapling planted.
Where the $250 goes:
• Tools and protective gear: $85
• Signage and educational materials: $25
• Waste removal and skip hire: $140
Every share and every dollar helps.
