Plant 3,000 native trees around the Liberty wetland in Rennes
Help us clean and replant the Liberty wetland before the August planting window closes.
🇫🇷 Brittany, France1,105 views
The Liberty wetland has been used as an informal dump for years. This June, 85 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 107 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the district council, 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 $1,650 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $840
• Tools and protective gear: $250
• Waste removal and skip hire: $440
• Signage and educational materials: $120
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Thanks for sharing this, Laurent. Hope you get there. After 21 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Wishing you the best, Laurent. Hope this works out for you. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings.
Sending good thoughts, Laurent. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
best of luck, Laurent. This could happen to any of us. I'll check back for the next update. Take care.
Thinking of you and your family. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Wish I lived closer to Sherbrooke so I could bring a meal
So sorry you're going through this, Laurent. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Surakarta!
hang in there. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.
