Clean air and water for Campinas: restoring the Liberty hillside
Volunteers are restoring the Liberty hillside in Campinas; $800 covers saplings, tools and waste removal.
🇧🇷 Campinas, São Paulo, Brazil1,128 views
The Liberty hillside has been used as an informal dump for years. This June, 49 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 157 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the district council, 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 $800 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $360
• Tools and protective gear: $175
• Waste removal and skip hire: $210
• Signage and educational materials: $55
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
