Plant 3,200 native trees around the Union wetland in Toulon
A neighborhood-led restoration of the Union wetland needs $1,000 for saplings and equipment.
🇫🇷 Toulon, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France1,735 views
The Union wetland has been used as an informal dump for years. This July, 33 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 118 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.
Funds buy saplings, gloves, bags, hire of a skip, and signage.
Where the $1,000 goes:
• Tools and protective gear: $320
• Native saplings and stakes: $430
• Signage and educational materials: $250
Every share and every dollar helps.

Sending strength, Souleymane. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur. I'll ask around and let you know!
Hope it all works out. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Worcester so I could bring a meal.
More neighborhoods should do this. Thinking of Toulon.
sending love, Souleymane. More neighborhoods should do this. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Keep going, Souleymane. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Please keep us posted.
Thinking of you, Souleymane. Shared this with my family. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
