Clean air and water for Nagoya: restoring the Harmony riverbank

Help us clean and replant the Harmony riverbank before the July planting window closes.

The Harmony riverbank has been used as an informal dump for years. This March, 113 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 80 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. We'll post planting day photos and a count of every sapling planted. Where the $1,650 goes: • Native saplings and stakes: $590 • Tools and protective gear: $290 • Waste removal and skip hire: $630 • Signage and educational materials: $140 Thank you so much. - Nanami

    You're not alone, Nanami. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Sent it to 3 people at work. Thinking of Nagoya

      Thinking of you and your family. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Gliwice donated after I showed her your page.
