Clean streets and rivers for Munich: restoring the Acacia hillside
A neighborhood-led restoration of the Acacia hillside needs $2,900 for saplings and equipment.

The Acacia hillside has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 92 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 149 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the municipal water board, 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 $2,900 goes:
• Tools and protective gear: $420
• Native saplings and stakes: $1,650
• Waste removal and skip hire: $830
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
