Clean streams for Córdoba: restoring the Freedom hillside
A neighborhood-led restoration of the Freedom hillside needs $850 for saplings and equipment.
🇦🇷 Córdoba, Córdoba, ArgentinaPosted Oct 1, 20261,498 views
The Freedom hillside has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 102 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 154 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 $850 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $430
• Tools and protective gear: $140
• Waste removal and skip hire: $240
• Signage and educational materials: $40
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
