Plant 2,250 native trees around the Cedar hillside in Paris
A neighborhood-led restoration of the Cedar hillside needs $1,450 for saplings and equipment.
🇫🇷 Paris, Île-de-France, France1,291 views
The Cedar hillside has been used as an informal dump for years. This April, 98 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 128 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 $1,450 goes:
• Waste removal and skip hire: $540
• Signage and educational materials: $155
• Native saplings and stakes: $755
Thanks for being kind about this.

Good luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Oakland.
Take care, Pierre. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Córdoba this morning. Greetings from Córdoba
So sorry you're going through this. Shared it with a few friends. I hope June is when things finally get easier.
So sorry you're going through this, Pierre. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best
sending love, Pierre. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Paris.
