Restoring the Harmony riverbank: a volunteer-led project in Mapo
Help us clean and replant the Harmony riverbank before the July planting window closes.
🇰🇷 Mapo, Seoul, South Korea1,832 views
The Harmony riverbank has been used as an informal dump for years. This April, 93 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 114 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 $950 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $480
• Waste removal and skip hire: $430
• Signage and educational materials: $40
I hope life is good to you.
Updates from Jae-won
Good news. Because of your gifts ($43 in total) the plan for signage and educational materials is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 3% funded and the plan for waste removal and skip hire is now scheduled.
