Clean water and shade for Athens: restoring the Pioneer wetland
Help us clean and replant the Pioneer wetland before the November planting window closes.
🇬🇷 Athens, Attica, Greece1,028 views
The Pioneer wetland has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 97 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 197 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.
We'll post planting day photos and a count of every sapling planted.
Where the $800 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $360
• Waste removal and skip hire: $310
• Tools and protective gear: $130
Glad we found this place.

Good luck, Efthymia. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Please keep us posted.
You're not alone. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope November is when things finally get easier. God bless.
How is Efthymia doing now?
Wishing you peace, Efthymia. Hope you get there. Love from Da Nang.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Efthymia?
Thank you. If you're in Athens I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for asking.
Hope it all works out. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Wishing you the best. Hope this works out for you. We're a small family in Nashik but we're thinking of you.
looking forward to the next update. Love from Montpellier.
