Clean streams for Reims: restoring the Sycamore riverbank
Help us clean and replant the Sycamore riverbank before the October planting window closes.
🇫🇷 Grand Est, France1,494 views
The Sycamore riverbank has been used as an informal dump for years. This July, 46 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 149 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:
• Waste removal and skip hire: $300
• Native saplings and stakes: $730
• Signage and educational materials: $70
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Hope it all works out, Lucas. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Bogor
You're not alone, Lucas. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Put this on a community board in Bakersfield this morning.
I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor in Pretoria donated after I showed her your page. God bless
Thanks for sharing this, Lucas. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
Best of luck. Your post was clear and honest. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Cleveland.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Reims.
Thank you. If you're in Reims I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Appreciate you taking the time.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Reims
Take care, Lucas. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Blessings
Stay strong, Lucas. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 19 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Lahore.
hope things get better soon, Lucas. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Reims.
Hang in there. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Reims
