Clean streets and rivers for Anaheim: restoring the Pioneer canal
A neighborhood-led restoration of the Pioneer canal needs $1,950 for saplings and equipment.
Anywhere in the world2,726 views
The Pioneer canal has been used as an informal dump for years. This May, 91 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 181 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 $1,950 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $730
• Tools and protective gear: $590
• Waste removal and skip hire: $350
• Signage and educational materials: $280
Thanks for being kind about this.

Good luck. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Hang in there. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
Wishing you the best, Brian. Looking forward to the next update. My husband and I read this together.
Sending love. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Ibadan.
