Clean streams for Xalapa: restoring the Union riverbank
Help us clean and replant the Union riverbank before the November planting window closes.
🇲🇽 Xalapa, Veracruz, Mexico410 views
The Union riverbank has been used as an informal dump for years. This June, 95 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 121 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the district council, 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 $550 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $230
• Tools and protective gear: $70
• Waste removal and skip hire: $210
• Signage and educational materials: $40
Glad we found this place.
