Plant 4,450 native trees around the Pioneer hillside in Buenos Aires
Help us clean and replant the Pioneer hillside before the November planting window closes.
🇦🇷 Buenos Aires, Argentina1,028 views
The Pioneer hillside has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 90 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 104 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 $550 goes:
• Waste removal and skip hire: $200
• Native saplings and stakes: $310
• Signage and educational materials: $40
Every share and every dollar helps.

Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Dar es Salaam.
Sending strength, Roberto. Hope you get there. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Buenos Aires
Shared this with my family. Thinking of Buenos Aires.
Thinking of you, Roberto. Your post was clear and honest. Take care.
Hang in there, Roberto. Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Siliguri so I could bring a meal.
You're not alone, Roberto. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer
Best of luck, Roberto. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.
Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Thinking of Buenos Aires
Wishing you the best. Shared this with my family. My neighbor in New York donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
