•Engage local stakeholders, including municipalities and community groups, for site preparation and tree planting activities.

•Integrate gray water reuse systems in public buildings, showcasing sustainable water management practices.

•Implement a monitoring framework to track environmental impact, tree growth rates, biodiversity enhancement, and water savings achieved through gray water reuse.

•Capacity building and educational tool, raising awareness about the importance of native species, biodiversity, and ecological restoration.
