Plant 4,550 native trees around the Baobab riverbank in Stockholm
Volunteers are restoring the Baobab riverbank in Stockholm; $1,000 covers saplings, tools and waste removal.
🇸🇪 Stockholm, Stockholm, Sweden841 views
The Baobab riverbank has been used as an informal dump for years. This April, 35 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 115 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 $1,000 goes:
• Signage and educational materials: $120
• Waste removal and skip hire: $710
• Tools and protective gear: $170
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

So sorry you're going through this, Albin. Hope this works out for you. Sent it to 21 people at work. Love from Paris
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Albin?
Thank you. If you're in Stockholm I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks, that means a lot.
Hang in there, Albin. Great idea, hope you get there. I'll check back for the next update.
Thinking of you and your family, Albin. Shared it with a few friends. Blessings
