The Unity canal has been used as an informal dump for years. This June, 72 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 145 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 $1,450 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $950
• Tools and protective gear: $280
• Waste removal and skip hire: $170
• Signage and educational materials: $50
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Thinking of you, Claudia. I hope things turn around soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Stay strong, Claudia. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'll check back for the next update. All the best.
looking forward to the next update. We're a small family in Bhaktapur but we're thinking of you. Take care
keep going, Claudia. More neighborhoods should do this. Take care.
I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Saint-Denis so I could bring a meal!
