Clean water and shade for Buffalo: restoring the Harmony canal
Help us clean and replant the Harmony canal before the October planting window closes.
🇺🇸 New York, United States316 views
The Harmony canal has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 89 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 80 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 $900 goes:
• Tools and protective gear: $360
• Signage and educational materials: $300
• Waste removal and skip hire: $240
Thanks for reading all this.

Sending strength, Lincoln. Great idea, hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
Thinking of you. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Curitiba.
good luck. Looking forward to the next update. I'll check back for the next update
