Clean streams for Londrina: restoring the Sycamore riverbank
A neighborhood-led restoration of the Sycamore riverbank needs $650 for saplings and equipment.
🇧🇷 Londrina, Paraná, Brazil1,628 views
The Sycamore riverbank has been used as an informal dump for years. This November, 33 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 196 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the local forestry office, 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 $650 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $230
• Tools and protective gear: $165
• Waste removal and skip hire: $170
• Signage and educational materials: $85
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

The list at the bottom is the whole picture. native saplings and stakes is the biggest at $230. Ask me anything else.
So sorry you're going through this, Aparecida. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Don't give up. Love from Petrópolis.

wishing you peace. Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Londrina
Sending strength, Aparecida. This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Mississauga
