Clean streams for Gothenburg: restoring the Maple hillside
Volunteers are restoring the Maple hillside in Gothenburg; $2,800 covers saplings, tools and waste removal.
🇸🇪 Gothenburg, Västra Götaland, Sweden2,209 views
The Maple hillside has been used as an informal dump for years. This April, 64 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 121 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 $2,800 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $1,750
• Tools and protective gear: $300
• Waste removal and skip hire: $490
• Signage and educational materials: $260
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
