Restoring the Acacia hillside: a volunteer-led project in London
Help us clean and replant the Acacia hillside before the November planting window closes.
Anywhere in the world1,424 views
The Acacia hillside has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 33 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 167 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 $1,750 goes:
• Signage and educational materials: $210
• Native saplings and stakes: $1,250
• Waste removal and skip hire: $290
Glad we found this place.

Stay strong. More neighborhoods should do this. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings.
Wishing you the best, Anita. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best!
Keep going, Anita. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings
Take care, Anita. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too!
You're not alone, Anita. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Please keep us posted.
