Plant 3,050 native trees around the Harmony riverbank in Envigado

The Harmony riverbank has been used as an informal dump for years. This April, 34 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 157 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 $550 goes: • Native saplings and stakes: $270 • Tools and protective gear: $160 • Waste removal and skip hire: $75 • Signage and educational materials: $45 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Santiago
