Clean streams for Bucaramanga: restoring the Lotus hillside
Help us clean and replant the Lotus hillside before the November planting window closes.
🇨🇴 Bucaramanga, Santander, Colombia757 views
The Lotus hillside has been used as an informal dump for years. This July, 31 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 100 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.
We'll post planting day photos and a count of every sapling planted.
Where the $500 goes:
• Signage and educational materials: $35
• Tools and protective gear: $90
• Native saplings and stakes: $375
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Hope things get better soon. Your post was clear and honest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
Take care. More neighborhoods should do this. My neighbor in Bogotá donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
hope it all works out, Esteban. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My husband and I read this together. Blessings
Stay strong. I hope things turn around soon. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Istanbul.
Hope it all works out, Esteban. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Brampton so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Bucaramanga
Thanks for sharing this, Esteban. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.
Hope things get better soon, Esteban. Shared it with a few friends. Blessings.
