Clean streets and rivers for Üsküdar: restoring the Maple canal
Help us clean and replant the Maple canal before the October planting window closes.
🇹🇷 Türkiye1,054 views
The Maple canal has been used as an informal dump for years. This June, 99 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 136 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 $450 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $240
• Tools and protective gear: $45
• Waste removal and skip hire: $100
• Signage and educational materials: $65
Every share and every dollar helps.

Wishing you the best, Tarık. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.
