Restoring the Harmony riverbank: a volunteer-led project in Sandton
Help us clean and replant the Harmony riverbank before the November planting window closes.
🇿🇦 Sandton, Gauteng, South Africa897 views
The Harmony riverbank has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 50 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 116 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 $650 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $360
• Tools and protective gear: $110
• Waste removal and skip hire: $125
• Signage and educational materials: $55
Glad we found this place.

Sending good thoughts, Dineo. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Pietermaritzburg.
So sorry you're going through this. Shared this with my family. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
