Restoring the Acacia hillside: a volunteer-led project in Gangnam
Help us clean and replant the Acacia hillside before the September planting window closes.
🇰🇷 South Korea472 views
The Acacia hillside has been used as an informal dump for years. This June, 68 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 147 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 $1,500 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $1,000
• Tools and protective gear: $200
• Waste removal and skip hire: $230
• Signage and educational materials: $70
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Thank you all. We're at 8% now ($119). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward signage and educational materials.
