Restoring the Jacaranda hillside: a volunteer-led project in George
A neighborhood-led restoration of the Jacaranda hillside needs $700 for saplings and equipment.
🇿🇦 George, Western Cape, South Africa1,215 views
The Jacaranda hillside has been used as an informal dump for years. This July, 65 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 92 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: $360
• Tools and protective gear: $140
• Waste removal and skip hire: $130
• Signage and educational materials: $70
Thanks for being kind about this.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near George
Thank you. If you're in George I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.

Best of luck, Imran. Hope you get there. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
Thinking of you and your family. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.
