Clean air and water for London: restoring the Harmony riverbank
A neighborhood-led restoration of the Harmony riverbank needs $2,050 for saplings and equipment.
🇬🇧 London, England, United Kingdom1,434 views
The Harmony riverbank has been used as an informal dump for years. This December, 88 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 114 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the local forestry office, 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 $2,050 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $1,250
• Tools and protective gear: $220
• Waste removal and skip hire: $430
• Signage and educational materials: $150
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Sending good thoughts, Jose. Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Best of luck, Jose. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I hope April is when things finally get easier. Blessings.
wishing you the best, Jose. It takes guts to ask. Well done. God bless.
Hang in there, Jose. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Manila but we're thinking of you. Love from Manila.
