Clean air and water for Jakarta Selatan: restoring the Pioneer hillside
Help us clean and replant the Pioneer hillside before the January planting window closes.

The Pioneer hillside has been used as an informal dump for years. This September, 82 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 95 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the city parks department, 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 $400 goes:
• Signage and educational materials: $10
• Native saplings and stakes: $250
• Waste removal and skip hire: $140
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Wish I lived closer to Palmira so I could bring a meal
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Hesti.
Signage and educational materials is $10 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Good question.
Take care. Shared it with a few friends. Take care
Wishing you peace, Hesti. Your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in 6th of October City this morning.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Hesti?
Take care. Hope this works out for you. Put this on a community board in Riverside this morning. Love from Riverside
Sending strength, Hesti. Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out
Thinking of you and your family, Hesti. It takes guts to ask. Well done. All the best.
