Restoring the Freedom canal: a volunteer-led project in Jerusalem
Help us clean and replant the Freedom canal before the June planting window closes.
🇮🇱 Israel1,351 views
The Freedom canal has been used as an informal dump for years. This April, 95 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 69 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 $1,850 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $900
• Tools and protective gear: $240
• Waste removal and skip hire: $590
• Signage and educational materials: $120
With deep gratitude,
Maya

this could happen to any of us. I hope June is when things finally get easier. Take care.
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Jerusalem.
Thank you. If you're in Jerusalem I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Let me know if you want more detail.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
hope this works out for you. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care
Thinking of you and your family, Maya. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Jerusalem.
Take care, Maya. Great idea, hope you get there. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Cologne.
Sending love. Great idea, hope you get there. Thinking of Jerusalem
