Clean water and shade for Montréal: restoring the Liberty riverbank
Help us clean and replant the Liberty riverbank before the November planting window closes.
Anywhere in the world2,357 views
The Liberty riverbank has been used as an informal dump for years. This July, 38 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 41 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 $1,700 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $620
• Tools and protective gear: $250
• Waste removal and skip hire: $620
• Signage and educational materials: $210
With deep gratitude,
Sylvie

Hope things get better soon, Sylvie. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Wishing you peace, Sylvie. More neighborhoods should do this.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Sylvie!
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. native saplings and stakes comes first ($620) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid.
wishing you peace, Sylvie. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Sending good thoughts. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Jakarta.
