Restoring the Unity hillside: a volunteer-led project in Girona
Help us clean and replant the Unity hillside before the April planting window closes.
Anywhere in the world821 views
The Unity hillside has been used as an informal dump for years. This January, 45 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 140 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the municipal water board, 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 $1,250 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $350
• Tools and protective gear: $320
• Waste removal and skip hire: $500
• Signage and educational materials: $80
Glad we found this place.

best of luck, Rodrigo. More neighborhoods should do this. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from São Paulo
Hang in there, Rodrigo. This could happen to any of us. After 21 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything
Wishing you peace, Rodrigo. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings
