Clean streets and rivers for Tallahassee: restoring the Harmony riverbank
Help us clean and replant the Harmony riverbank before the February planting window closes.
🇺🇸 Tallahassee, Florida, United States4,038 views
The Harmony riverbank has been used as an informal dump for years. This December, 42 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 95 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the city parks department, 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:
• Tools and protective gear: $750
• Signage and educational materials: $210
• Native saplings and stakes: $1,240
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
