Volunteers are restoring the Harmony canal in Fresno; $1,050 covers saplings, tools and waste removal.
🇺🇸 Fresno, California, United States2,082 views
The Harmony canal has been used as an informal dump for years. This February, 97 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 177 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the municipal water board, 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 $1,050 goes:
• Tools and protective gear: $420
• Signage and educational materials: $270
• Waste removal and skip hire: $360

Take care. Looking forward to the next update. Put this on a community board in Kozhikode this morning. Thinking of Fresno.
Hope things get better soon. More neighborhoods should do this. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Glendale.
Wishing you the best, Vivian. Shared this with my family. I'll check back for the next update. Blessings.
Wishing you the best. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Thanks for sharing this, Vivian. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Kinondoni so I could bring a meal. God bless.
So sorry you're going through this. Looking forward to the next update. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care
praying for you, Vivian. Looking forward to the next update.
Praying for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Saint-Denis.
