Plant 4,900 native trees around the Pioneer canal in Timișoara
A neighborhood-led restoration of the Pioneer canal needs $950 for saplings and equipment.
🇷🇴 Timișoara, Timiș, Romania1,110 views
The Pioneer canal has been used as an informal dump for years. This September, 85 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 130 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 $950 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $670
• Signage and educational materials: $85
• Tools and protective gear: $195
Thanks for being kind about this.

Wishing you peace, Eugen. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Warsaw so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Timișoara
Thinking of you and your family. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 17 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Eugen.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. native saplings and stakes is the biggest at $670. Thanks for asking.
Wishing you peace, Eugen. Shared it with a few friends. Love from Córdoba.
How is Eugen doing now?
Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Naivasha so I could bring a meal
So sorry you're going through this, Eugen. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Hope it all works out, Eugen. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Blessings.
