Clean streets and rivers for Leeds: restoring the Unity riverbank
Help us clean and replant the Unity riverbank before the April planting window closes.
🇬🇧 England, United Kingdom2,060 views
The Unity riverbank has been used as an informal dump for years. This January, 115 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 163 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.
Funds buy saplings, gloves, bags, hire of a skip, and signage.
Where the $2,450 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $1,250
• Tools and protective gear: $410
• Waste removal and skip hire: $650
• Signage and educational materials: $140
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

So sorry you're going through this, Angel. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Leeds
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Angel!
sending strength, Angel. Shared it with a few friends. Take care
Shared this with my family. My neighbor in Quezon City donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
Good luck, Angel. Hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care
Hope it all works out. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Móstoles donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
Looking forward to the next update. Sent it to 12 people at work. Blessings.
