Restoring the Union hillside: a volunteer-led project in Dundee
A neighborhood-led restoration of the Union hillside needs $1,200 for saplings and equipment.
🇬🇧 United Kingdom1,699 views
The Union hillside has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 55 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 63 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.
Funds buy saplings, gloves, bags, hire of a skip, and signage.
Where the $1,200 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $500
• Tools and protective gear: $220
• Waste removal and skip hire: $210
• Signage and educational materials: $270
