Clean air and water for Bordeaux: restoring the Harmony canal
A neighborhood-led restoration of the Harmony canal needs $1,500 for saplings and equipment.
🇫🇷 Bordeaux, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France1,676 views
The Harmony canal has been used as an informal dump for years. This March, 70 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 180 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 $1,500 goes:
• Waste removal and skip hire: $320
• Native saplings and stakes: $990
• Signage and educational materials: $190
Thank you for reading my story.
