Clean streets and rivers for Coyoacán: restoring the Pioneer canal
Volunteers are restoring the Pioneer canal in Coyoacán; $350 covers saplings, tools and waste removal.
🇲🇽 04017, Coyoacán, Ciudad de México, Mexico931 views
The Pioneer canal has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 113 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 115 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 $350 goes:
• Waste removal and skip hire: $170
• Signage and educational materials: $50
• Tools and protective gear: $130
Every share and every dollar helps.
