Plant 1,750 native trees around the Union canal in Antalya
Help us clean and replant the Union canal before the October planting window closes.
Anywhere in the world1,151 views
The Union canal has been used as an informal dump for years. This June, 111 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 54 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.
We'll post planting day photos and a count of every sapling planted.
Where the $900 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $470
• Tools and protective gear: $130
• Waste removal and skip hire: $240
• Signage and educational materials: $60
With deep gratitude,
Recep

Praying for you, Recep. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out
how is Recep doing now?
Stay strong, Recep. Looking forward to the next update. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Keep going, Recep. Looking forward to the next update.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Recife.
Take care, Recep. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Best of luck. Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Quezon City but we're thinking of you. Take care.
Hang in there, Recep. Great idea, hope you get there. God bless.
