Plant 2,200 native trees around the Maple hillside in Pasig
Volunteers are restoring the Maple hillside in Pasig; $250 covers saplings, tools and waste removal.
🇵🇭 Pasig, Metro Manila, Philippines527 views
The Maple hillside has been used as an informal dump for years. This May, 110 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 196 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 $250 goes:
• Tools and protective gear: $95
• Signage and educational materials: $25
• Waste removal and skip hire: $130
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Take care. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care
Shared this with my family. Love from Manchester.
Keep going. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Warsaw donated after I showed her your page. Take care
Hang in there, Manuel. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out
