Restoring the Cedar hillside: a volunteer-led project in Boulogne-Billancourt
A neighborhood-led restoration of the Cedar hillside needs $1,700 for saplings and equipment.
🇫🇷 France1,995 views
The Cedar hillside has been used as an informal dump for years. This July, 93 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 182 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.
Funds buy saplings, gloves, bags, hire of a skip, and signage.
Where the $1,700 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $1,250
• Tools and protective gear: $250
• Signage and educational materials: $200
Thanks for being kind about this.

good luck, Omar. Shared this with my family. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Sending good thoughts, Omar. This could happen to any of us. God bless.
Wishing you the best, Omar. More neighborhoods should do this. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.
Keep going. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Manchester donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
Rooting for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Sending love, Omar. Looking forward to the next update.
