Plant 1,800 native trees around the Acacia canal in San Sebastián
Help us clean and replant the Acacia canal before the November planting window closes.
🇪🇸 San Sebastián, Basque Country, Spain3,130 views
The Acacia canal has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 88 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 127 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 $2,000 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $890
• Tools and protective gear: $450
• Waste removal and skip hire: $500
• Signage and educational materials: $160
Every share and every dollar helps.

Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Latina.
Stay strong, Andrea. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 20 years in social work I know how hard it is to ask for anything.
Best of luck, Andrea. Your post was clear and honest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Memphis!
thinking of you. More neighborhoods should do this. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too
Thinking of you, Andrea. Great idea, hope you get there. Take care
