The Lotus riverbank cleanup and restoration: help our volunteer crew
Help us clean and replant the Lotus riverbank before the November planting window closes.
🇧🇷 Duque de Caxias, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil588 views
The Lotus riverbank has been used as an informal dump for years. This July, 69 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 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 $350 goes:
• Signage and educational materials: $30
• Native saplings and stakes: $260
• Tools and protective gear: $60

Sending love. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Duque de Caxias.
