Restoring Harmony Creek: a volunteer-led project in Gangnam
Help us clean and replant Harmony Creek before the November planting window closes.
🇰🇷 06186, Gangnam, Seoul, South Korea2,674 views
Harmony Creek has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 83 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 109 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the municipal water board, 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.
Funds buy saplings, gloves, bags, hire of a skip, and signage.
Where the $1,750 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $800
• Tools and protective gear: $290
• Waste removal and skip hire: $530
• Signage and educational materials: $130
Every share and every dollar helps.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Jae-hyun?
Rooting for you, Jae-hyun. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
hang in there, Jae-hyun. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. All the best.
Wishing you peace, Jae-hyun. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. All the best
Hang in there, Jae-hyun. This could happen to any of us. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Bacolod.
