Clean streams for Thrissur: restoring the Harmony hillside

Volunteers are restoring the Harmony hillside in Thrissur; $350 covers saplings, tools and waste removal.

Thrissur
The Harmony hillside has been used as an informal dump for years. This July, 102 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 168 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good. We have a plan agreed with the local forestry office, 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 $350 goes: • Native saplings and stakes: $250 • Tools and protective gear: $50 • Waste removal and skip hire: $40 • Signage and educational materials: $10 I hope life is good to you. - Rajiv

    is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Rajiv!

    • Rajiv R. GalaOwnerAnswer

      Sure. The biggest one is native saplings and stakes, $250. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Fair thing to want to know.

    Wishing you the best. More neighborhoods should do this. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Aberdeen.
