Restoring the Cedar riverbank: a volunteer-led project in León
A neighborhood-led restoration of the Cedar riverbank needs $550 for saplings and equipment.
🇲🇽 León, Guanajuato, Mexico906 views
The Cedar riverbank has been used as an informal dump for years. This July, 83 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 199 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.
We'll post planting day photos and a count of every sapling planted.
Where the $550 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $200
• Tools and protective gear: $95
• Waste removal and skip hire: $255
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
