Clean streets and rivers for Johannesburg: restoring the Sycamore canal
Volunteers are restoring the Sycamore canal in Johannesburg; $600 covers saplings, tools and waste removal.
🇿🇦 Gauteng, South Africa1,384 views
The Sycamore canal has been used as an informal dump for years. This December, 109 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 69 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.
Funds buy saplings, gloves, bags, hire of a skip, and signage.
Where the $600 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $340
• Tools and protective gear: $70
• Waste removal and skip hire: $145
• Signage and educational materials: $45
Glad we found this place.
