Restoring the Liberty hillside: a volunteer-led project in London
Help us clean and replant the Liberty hillside before the April planting window closes.
🇬🇧 London, England, United Kingdom2,199 views
The Liberty hillside has been used as an informal dump for years. This January, 116 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 64 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 $1,950 goes:
• Tools and protective gear: $330
• Native saplings and stakes: $1,400
• Waste removal and skip hire: $220
Thank you for reading my story.

Hang in there. This could happen to any of us. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of London.
So sorry you're going through this. More neighborhoods should do this. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best.
Hope things get better soon, Vivian. Looking forward to the next update. Take care.
Good luck, Vivian. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
