Restoring Union Beach: a volunteer-led project in Thane
A neighborhood-led restoration of Union Beach needs $350 for saplings and equipment.
🇮🇳 Thane, Maharashtra, India798 views
Union Beach has been used as an informal dump for years. This March, 69 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 75 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.
Funds buy saplings, gloves, bags, hire of a skip, and signage.
Where the $350 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $155
• Tools and protective gear: $95
• Waste removal and skip hire: $85
• Signage and educational materials: $15
Thank you so much.
