Restoring the Cedar hillside: a volunteer-led project in St. Petersburg
Help us clean and replant the Cedar hillside before the January planting window closes.
🇺🇸 Florida, United States836 views
The Cedar hillside has been used as an informal dump for years. This October, 102 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 59 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the city parks department, 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 $3,150 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $1,550
• Tools and protective gear: $690
• Waste removal and skip hire: $630
• Signage and educational materials: $280
Thank you for reading my story.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($287 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely. - Hailey
Small update. $80 so far, I made the first payment toward waste removal and skip hire. - Hailey

Thinking of you and your family, Hailey. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Take care.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 24 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
you're not alone, Hailey. More neighborhoods should do this.
You're not alone, Hailey. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. It's not much but it's yours.
More neighborhoods should do this. Love from Hubballi
