Clean streams for Liverpool: restoring the Union canal
Volunteers are restoring the Union canal in Liverpool; $2,100 covers saplings, tools and waste removal.
🇬🇧 United Kingdom1,693 views
The Union canal has been used as an informal dump for years. This July, 75 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 198 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 $2,100 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $550
• Tools and protective gear: $590
• Waste removal and skip hire: $690
• Signage and educational materials: $270
With deep gratitude,
Silas
