Clean water and shade for Novosibirsk: restoring the Lotus hillside
Help us clean and replant the Lotus hillside before the February planting window closes.
🇷🇺 Novosibirsk, Novosibirsk Oblast, Russia1,589 views
The Lotus hillside has been used as an informal dump for years. This October, 61 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 118 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 $450 goes:
• Signage and educational materials: $80
• Waste removal and skip hire: $200
• Tools and protective gear: $170
Thanks for being kind about this.

Good luck, Alina. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Istanbul.
Great idea, hope you get there. I hope February is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Novosibirsk.
