Restoring the Jacaranda canal: a volunteer-led project in Sherbrooke

Help us clean and replant the Jacaranda canal before the May planting window closes.

The Jacaranda canal has been used as an informal dump for years. This February, 105 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 84 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 $1,900 goes: • Signage and educational materials: $150 • Native saplings and stakes: $1,350 • Tools and protective gear: $400 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Eliana
