Plant 4,450 native trees around the Sycamore hillside in Lviv
A neighborhood-led restoration of the Sycamore hillside needs $500 for saplings and equipment.
🇺🇦 Ukraine1,032 views
The Sycamore hillside has been used as an informal dump for years. This June, 94 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 161 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 $500 goes:
• Tools and protective gear: $95
• Native saplings and stakes: $340
• Waste removal and skip hire: $65
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
