Restoring the Baobab riverbank: a volunteer-led project in Vigo
Help us clean and replant the Baobab riverbank before the June planting window closes.
🇪🇸 Galicia, Spain1,299 views
The Baobab riverbank has been used as an informal dump for years. This March, 61 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 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.
Funds buy saplings, gloves, bags, hire of a skip, and signage.
Where the $1,500 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $410
• Tools and protective gear: $400
• Waste removal and skip hire: $560
• Signage and educational materials: $130

Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Put this on a community board in Bogotá this morning. Blessings.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Citlali.
Native saplings and stakes is $410 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Let me know if you want more detail.
More neighborhoods should do this. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Stay strong, Citlali. I hope things turn around soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best.
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Vigo.
Thank you. If you're in Vigo I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for asking.
hope things get better soon. Your post was clear and honest. God bless.
thinking of you and your family. This could happen to any of us. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
Rooting for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Vigo
