Clean streets and rivers for Coventry: restoring the Sycamore canal
A neighborhood-led restoration of the Sycamore canal needs $2,200 for saplings and equipment.
🇬🇧 United Kingdom1,095 views
The Sycamore canal has been used as an informal dump for years. This July, 62 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 86 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 $2,200 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $1,300
• Tools and protective gear: $270
• Waste removal and skip hire: $410
• Signage and educational materials: $220
With deep gratitude,
Mohammad

You're not alone, Mohammad. More neighborhoods should do this. My neighbor in Savar donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
