Plant 4,300 native trees around the Baobab hillside in Bronx
Help us clean and replant the Baobab hillside before the September planting window closes.
🇺🇸 Bronx, New York, United States990 views
The Baobab hillside has been used as an informal dump for years. This June, 89 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 169 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.
Funds buy saplings, gloves, bags, hire of a skip, and signage.
Where the $1,400 goes:
• Tools and protective gear: $490
• Waste removal and skip hire: $590
• Signage and educational materials: $320
Glad we found this place.
