Restoring the Cedar hillside: a volunteer-led project in Campinas
Help us clean and replant the Cedar hillside before the July planting window closes.
🇧🇷 São Paulo, Brazil835 views
The Cedar hillside has been used as an informal dump for years. This April, 94 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 194 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 $700 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $410
• Signage and educational materials: $60
• Waste removal and skip hire: $230
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
Updates from Rodrigo
Update from Campinas: the plan for waste removal and skip hire is now scheduled. We're at 69% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 9% funded and I made the first payment toward native saplings and stakes.

Stay strong. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Los Angeles so I could bring a meal.
