Plant 5,000 native trees around the Jacaranda riverbank in Seoul
Help us clean and replant the Jacaranda riverbank before the November planting window closes.
🇰🇷 Seoul, Seoul, South Korea2,988 views
The Jacaranda riverbank has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 86 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 49 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 $1,200 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $390
• Tools and protective gear: $230
• Waste removal and skip hire: $500
• Signage and educational materials: $80
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

best of luck, Hyun-woo. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My husband and I read this together.
Wishing you the best. Looking forward to the next update. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
You're not alone, Hyun-woo. Looking forward to the next update. I'll check back for the next update. God bless.
