Clean water and shade for Gdynia: restoring the Harmony canal
Volunteers are restoring the Harmony canal in Gdynia; $750 covers saplings, tools and waste removal.
🇵🇱 Poland1,022 views
The Harmony canal has been used as an informal dump for years. This July, 58 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 167 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the municipal water board, 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.
We'll post planting day photos and a count of every sapling planted.
Where the $750 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $260
• Tools and protective gear: $155
• Waste removal and skip hire: $260
• Signage and educational materials: $75
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

You're not alone. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Oakland.

You're not alone, Jadwiga. More neighborhoods should do this. Thinking of Gdynia.

Rooting for you. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Duque de Caxias.
