2. What kind of content will the walks focus on? Why is this topic a priority?
- The walk hopes to present the information (images and texts) of urban green spaces in the form of, but not limited to, parks, gardens and nature reserves in Lagos State into open source knowledge to allow free knowledge users get information about these places in Lagos, thereby promoting environmental protection and sustainability.

Examples of places where this can be done include community discussion pages, affiliate discussion pages, or relevant project talk pages.

For example, these can include on-wiki spaces, social media channels, mailing lists, messaging apps, or physical/online gatherings.

5. What is the plan to ensure images will be used on Wikimedia projects?
- An edit-a-thon would be organized to allow images taken to be uploaded on Wiki Commons to allow free usage in promoting as well as improving articles on urban green spaces on English Wikipedia. A session to allow for environmentally inclined organizations would also be hosted to foster relationships and discuss further projects.
