Clean streams for Bangkok: restoring the Pioneer hillside

A neighborhood-led restoration of the Pioneer hillside needs $550 for saplings and equipment.

Bangkok
The Pioneer hillside has been used as an informal dump for years. This May, 46 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 188 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 $550 goes: • Tools and protective gear: $115 • Signage and educational materials: $65 • Native saplings and stakes: $370 Every share and every dollar helps.

    Rooting for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
