Plant 1,200 native trees around the Maple riverbank in Yekaterinburg

Help us clean and replant the Maple riverbank before the December planting window closes.

🇷🇺 Yekaterinburg, Sverdlovsk Oblast, Russia1,501 views
The Maple riverbank has been used as an informal dump for years. This September, 54 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 198 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good. We have a plan agreed with the district council, 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 $750 goes: • Native saplings and stakes: $320 • Tools and protective gear: $85 • Waste removal and skip hire: $260 • Signage and educational materials: $85 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

                        You're not alone, Ksenia. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings
