Plant 1,700 native trees around the Pioneer riverbank in Zapopan
A neighborhood-led restoration of the Pioneer riverbank needs $900 for saplings and equipment.
🇲🇽 Zapopan, Jalisco, Mexico2,077 views
The Pioneer riverbank has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 32 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 155 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.
We'll post planting day photos and a count of every sapling planted.
Where the $900 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $470
• Tools and protective gear: $175
• Waste removal and skip hire: $250
• Signage and educational materials: $5
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

So sorry you're going through this, Álvaro. This could happen to any of us. Love from Mumbai.
So sorry you're going through this. More neighborhoods should do this. After 17 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless
Sending strength, Álvaro. Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Zapopan.
Hang in there, Álvaro. Hope this works out for you
hang in there. Your post was clear and honest. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Zapopan
so sorry you're going through this, Álvaro. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
