The Sycamore canal has been used as an informal dump for years. This July, 98 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 165 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 $800 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $380
• Tools and protective gear: $115
• Waste removal and skip hire: $250
• Signage and educational materials: $55
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

sending love, Nina. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Kathmandu so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Yekaterinburg

Thanks for sharing this, Nina. More neighborhoods should do this. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Yekaterinburg.
Good luck, Nina. Hope you get there. Sent it to 11 people at work.
