Plant 3,050 native trees around the Baobab hillside in Kelowna
A neighborhood-led restoration of the Baobab hillside needs $2,300 for saplings and equipment.
🇨🇦 Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada525 views
The Baobab hillside has been used as an informal dump for years. This November, 120 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 132 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.
Funds buy saplings, gloves, bags, hire of a skip, and signage.
Where the $2,300 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $1,200
• Tools and protective gear: $400
• Waste removal and skip hire: $570
• Signage and educational materials: $130
I hope life is good to you.

Hang in there, Alyssa. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings.
Keep going, Alyssa. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Jakarta
