Clean streams for Coyoacán: restoring the Cedar wetland
Help us clean and replant the Cedar wetland before the November planting window closes.
🇲🇽 Coyoacán, Ciudad de México, Mexico2,184 views
The Cedar wetland has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 120 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 60 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the municipal water board, 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 $300 goes:
• Waste removal and skip hire: $130
• Tools and protective gear: $115
• Signage and educational materials: $55
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Good luck, Renata. More neighborhoods should do this. Take care.
Hope things get better soon. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Sylhet this morning
Hope things get better soon, Renata. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'll check back for the next update.
Sending good thoughts, Renata. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best.
More neighborhoods should do this. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Makati.
Sending love, Renata. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Coimbatore this morning.
Sending good thoughts. Hope you get there. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out!
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Nashik
Keep going. Looking forward to the next update. Don't give up. Blessings.
so sorry you're going through this, Renata. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Coyoacán.
Thinking of you and your family, Renata. Looking forward to the next update. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
