Clean water and shade for Veracruz: restoring the Cedar hillside
Help us clean and replant the Cedar hillside before the October planting window closes.
🇲🇽 Mexico1,252 views
The Cedar hillside has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 83 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 169 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 $750 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $430
• Tools and protective gear: $75
• Waste removal and skip hire: $165
• Signage and educational materials: $80
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

hang in there, Beatriz. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best
Sending love, Beatriz. I hope things turn around soon.
Thanks for sharing this. Looking forward to the next update. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Oakland.
Sending love. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Varanasi but we're thinking of you. Love from Varanasi.
Good luck, Beatriz. More neighborhoods should do this. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
