Restoring the Harmony hillside: a volunteer-led project in Toulouse
Volunteers are restoring the Harmony hillside in Toulouse; $1,200 covers saplings, tools and waste removal.
🇫🇷 Toulouse, Occitanie, France688 views
The Harmony hillside has been used as an informal dump for years. This June, 100 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 156 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the municipal water board, 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 $1,200 goes:
• Tools and protective gear: $250
• Native saplings and stakes: $710
• Waste removal and skip hire: $240
With deep gratitude,
Fabrice

Thinking of you and your family, Fabrice. Hope you get there. Greetings from Yekaterinburg.
Take care. Gave what I could, wish it was more. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless.
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Toulouse
Stay strong. Great idea, hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Hang in there, Fabrice. I hope things turn around soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Ankara.
Hope this works out for you. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless!
Sending good thoughts. More neighborhoods should do this. Greetings from Atlanta.
Sending good thoughts, Fabrice. Great idea, hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Belo Horizonte.
