Plant 4,800 native trees around the Lotus hillside in Pasig

Pasig
The Lotus hillside has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 57 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 66 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good. We have a plan agreed with the local forestry office, 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 $200 goes: • Signage and educational materials: $30 • Tools and protective gear: $100 • Waste removal and skip hire: $70 I hope life is good to you. - John Paul

      Hope it all works out, John Paul. Hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Cầu Giấy.
