Clean streams for Milan: restoring the Acacia canal
A neighborhood-led restoration of the Acacia canal needs $1,100 for saplings and equipment.
🇮🇹 Italy1,360 views
The Acacia canal has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 101 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 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 $1,100 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $410
• Tools and protective gear: $270
• Waste removal and skip hire: $260
• Signage and educational materials: $160
Thanks for being kind about this.

Hang in there, Yasir. Shared this with my family.
Thinking of you and your family. Your post was clear and honest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Milan.
