Clean streams for Hobart: restoring the Maple canal
A neighborhood-led restoration of the Maple canal needs $1,200 for saplings and equipment.
🇦🇺 Australia866 views
The Maple canal has been used as an informal dump for years. This June, 111 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 199 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 $1,200 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $910
• Signage and educational materials: $85
• Tools and protective gear: $205
Thanks for reading all this.

Wishing you peace. More neighborhoods should do this. Don't give up. All the best!
Take care. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Bronx so I could bring a meal.
Hope things get better soon, Payal. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in.

Thanks for sharing this, Payal. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Setagaya.
