Plant 2,450 native trees around the Union hillside in Ibadan
Help us clean and replant the Union hillside before the October planting window closes.
🇳🇬 Ibadan, Oyo, Nigeria524 views
The Union hillside has been used as an informal dump for years. This July, 31 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 48 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the local forestry office, 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: $100
• Signage and educational materials: $30
• Native saplings and stakes: $120
If you're reading this, thank you.

Good luck. More neighborhoods should do this. My husband and I read this together. Blessings.
hope it all works out, Ngozi. Great idea, hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.
Take care. Shared this with my family. My husband and I read this together
is there anything that isn't money that would help Ngozi?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about tools and protective gear, advice is welcome too. Thanks, that means a lot.
Sending strength, Ngozi. Hope this works out for you. Put this on a community board in Liverpool this morning. Thinking of Ibadan.
thinking of you and your family. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Take care.
Good luck, Ngozi. More neighborhoods should do this. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Mumbai
Hope you get there. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Campinas.
keep going, Ngozi. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
You're not alone, Ngozi. Shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
