Clean water and shade for Munich: restoring the Unity wetland
A neighborhood-led restoration of the Unity wetland needs $1,950 for saplings and equipment.
🇩🇪 Bavaria, Germany1,658 views
The Unity wetland has been used as an informal dump for years. This May, 117 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 191 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 $1,950 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $1,100
• Tools and protective gear: $200
• Waste removal and skip hire: $540
• Signage and educational materials: $110
I hope life is good to you.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Mathilda.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. native saplings and stakes is the biggest at $1,100. Thanks, that means a lot.
Rooting for you, Mathilda. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Love from Naivasha.
Hope it all works out, Mathilda. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.
So sorry you're going through this, Mathilda. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. After 29 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Madrid.
Praying for you, Mathilda. More neighborhoods should do this. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
wishing you the best. Great idea, hope you get there. My neighbor in Akron donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Munich
good luck, Mathilda. Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Coimbatore so I could bring a meal. God bless.
Shared this with my family. Love from Stockholm.
Thinking of you and your family. More neighborhoods should do this. Greetings from Envigado.
