Plant 1,800 native trees around the Sycamore canal in Athens
A neighborhood-led restoration of the Sycamore canal needs $1,100 for saplings and equipment.
🇬🇷 Athens, Attica, Greece3,778 views
The Sycamore canal has been used as an informal dump for years. This July, 69 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 118 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.
We'll post planting day photos and a count of every sapling planted.
Where the $1,100 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $600
• Tools and protective gear: $210
• Waste removal and skip hire: $155
• Signage and educational materials: $135
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
