Plant 2,000 native trees around the Lotus canal in Antalya
Volunteers are restoring the Lotus canal in Antalya; $700 covers saplings, tools and waste removal.
🇹🇷 Antalya, Antalya, Türkiye833 views
The Lotus canal has been used as an informal dump for years. This June, 113 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 63 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the local forestry office, 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 $700 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $330
• Tools and protective gear: $165
• Waste removal and skip hire: $135
• Signage and educational materials: $70
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Wishing you peace, Yasemin. Hope you get there. Sent it to 39 people at work. God bless.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Yasemin
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. native saplings and stakes comes first ($330) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks for looking so closely.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Yasemin?
Thank you. If you're in Antalya I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for looking so closely.
Sending good thoughts, Yasemin. I hope things turn around soon.
Wishing you the best, Yasemin. Hope this works out for you. It's not much but it's yours. All the best.
Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. After 30 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Antalya.
Thinking of you and your family, Yasemin. Shared it with a few friends. Blessings.
