The Sycamore canal has been used as an informal dump for years. This May, 40 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 120 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 $250 goes: โ€ข Waste removal and skip hire: $125 โ€ข Tools and protective gear: $85 โ€ข Signage and educational materials: $40 If you're reading this, thank you.

    Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Warangal.

    • Ravi L. MenonOwnerAnswer

      Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about waste removal and skip hire, advice is welcome too. Fair thing to want to know.

  • A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Telangana. I'll ask around and let you know.

    • Nuria G. FernรกndezQuestionPhoto verified

      Is there any paperwork, like the council agreement, that backs this up?

      • Ravi L. MenonOwnerAnswer

        I do, the council agreement is with the HelpBLESS team. Happy to answer anything else about it. Ask me anything else.

    • sending good thoughts. Looking forward to the next update. It's not much but it's yours. God bless
