Restoring the Lotus hillside: a volunteer-led project in Galway
Volunteers are restoring the Lotus hillside in Galway; $1,700 covers saplings, tools and waste removal.
🇮🇪 Galway, Connacht, Ireland421 views
The Lotus hillside has been used as an informal dump for years. This July, 74 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 83 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.
Funds buy saplings, gloves, bags, hire of a skip, and signage.
Where the $1,700 goes:
• Signage and educational materials: $230
• Waste removal and skip hire: $390
• Native saplings and stakes: $1,080
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
