Plant 4,950 native trees around the Pioneer hillside in Greensboro
A neighborhood-led restoration of the Pioneer hillside needs $1,450 for saplings and equipment.
🇺🇸 United States449 views
The Pioneer hillside has been used as an informal dump for years. This September, 76 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 163 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.
We'll post planting day photos and a count of every sapling planted.
Where the $1,450 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $800
• Signage and educational materials: $135
• Waste removal and skip hire: $515
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
