Clean streets and rivers for Sheffield: restoring the Unity hillside
A neighborhood-led restoration of the Unity hillside needs $2,250 for saplings and equipment.
🇬🇧 Sheffield, England, United Kingdom4,297 views
The Unity hillside has been used as an informal dump for years. This December, 118 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 68 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.
Funds buy saplings, gloves, bags, hire of a skip, and signage.
Where the $2,250 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $1,450
• Tools and protective gear: $420
• Waste removal and skip hire: $250
• Signage and educational materials: $130
Thank you for reading my story.

Sending love, Ella. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Odesa so I could bring a meal.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ella.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. native saplings and stakes comes first ($1,450) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Fair thing to want to know.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Guarulhos.
thinking of you and your family. Shared it with a few friends. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from São Paulo.
