Activists began clearing the ravine of debris in 2023

"Join the restoration of our nature to restore our city," he urged.

Prykhodko noted that the volunteers will meet at 12:00 near the service station on Oleksandrivskyi Avenue, 114b. Participants of the promotion should bring with them:

  • thick rubber gloves;
  • waterproof shoes with thick soles (rubber boots, boots, sneakers);
  • a set of changing clothes;
  • drinking water

How to get there:

  • trolleybus 3, 7, 304 (University-Odeska St. – Novi Budynky – 25 Hospital or Pozharsky St.);
  • "O.S. Maselskyi" metro station (15 minutes' walk from the metro station to Oleksandrivskyi Avenue)

Questions and suggestions regarding the campaign can be addressed to its organizer Ruslan Aksyonov (063-122-47-55).
