Clean streams for Nashik: restoring the Cedar canal
Volunteers are restoring the Cedar canal in Nashik; $300 covers saplings, tools and waste removal.
🇮🇳 Nashik, Maharashtra, India1,292 views
The Cedar canal has been used as an informal dump for years. This June, 43 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 125 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.
Funds buy saplings, gloves, bags, hire of a skip, and signage.
Where the $300 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $130
• Tools and protective gear: $90
• Waste removal and skip hire: $60
• Signage and educational materials: $20
Glad we found this place.

keep going. This could happen to any of us. After 10 years in social work I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Blessings
rooting for you, Deepa. Shared this with my family. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Nashik.
Sending good thoughts. Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Los Angeles
You're not alone, Deepa. Shared it with a few friends. My husband and I read this together
Stay strong, Deepa. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Take care!
