Clean streams for Palermo: restoring the Jacaranda riverbank
Help us clean and replant the Jacaranda riverbank before the August planting window closes.
Anywhere in the world721 views
The Jacaranda riverbank has been used as an informal dump for years. This June, 88 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 147 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 $1,250 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $670
• Signage and educational materials: $195
• Tools and protective gear: $385

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Massimo?
Thank you. If you're in Palermo I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Fair thing to want to know.
Good luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Tokyo this morning. Blessings!
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Massimo
Good luck, Massimo. Looking forward to the next update. I hope August is when things finally get easier.
Stay strong, Massimo. Looking forward to the next update. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Looking forward to the next update. After 19 years in hospitality I know how hard it is to ask for anything. God bless
Hope things get better soon, Massimo. More neighborhoods should do this. Thinking of Palermo
Praying for you, Massimo. More neighborhoods should do this. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Faisalabad.
Thinking of you and your family, Massimo. Great idea, hope you get there. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best
Hang in there, Massimo. Looking forward to the next update. Don't give up.
I hope things turn around soon. It's not much but it's yours
