Clean air and water for Leeds: restoring the Freedom riverbank
A neighborhood-led restoration of the Freedom riverbank needs $800 for saplings and equipment.
🇬🇧 Leeds, England, United Kingdom1,488 views
The Freedom riverbank has been used as an informal dump for years. This December, 73 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 200 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 $800 goes:
• Waste removal and skip hire: $430
• Signage and educational materials: $165
• Tools and protective gear: $205
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
