Volunteers are restoring the Lotus hillside in Semarang; $350 covers saplings, tools and waste removal.
🇮🇩 Semarang, Central Java, Indonesia1,351 views
The Lotus hillside has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 93 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 58 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the city parks department, 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 $350 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $160
• Tools and protective gear: $50
• Waste removal and skip hire: $115
• Signage and educational materials: $25
Thanks for being kind about this.

stay strong, Dwi. Great idea, hope you get there.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Dwi?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about native saplings and stakes, advice is welcome too. Thanks, that means a lot.
hope it all works out, Dwi. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Dwi

everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 6 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Central Java. I'll ask around and let you know
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Prayagraj.
Sending good thoughts, Dwi. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Semarang
