Plant 2,800 native trees around the Union hillside in Adama
Volunteers are restoring the Union hillside in Adama; $300 covers saplings, tools and waste removal.
🇪🇹 Adama, Oromia, Ethiopia642 views
The Union hillside has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 116 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 159 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 $300 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $185
• Waste removal and skip hire: $110
• Signage and educational materials: $5
With deep gratitude,
Fikir
