Restoring the Liberty canal: a volunteer-led project in Düsseldorf
Help us clean and replant the Liberty canal before the October planting window closes.
🇩🇪 Düsseldorf, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany795 views
The Liberty canal has been used as an informal dump for years. This July, 74 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 57 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.
Funds buy saplings, gloves, bags, hire of a skip, and signage.
Where the $2,250 goes:
• Tools and protective gear: $450
• Native saplings and stakes: $1,000
• Waste removal and skip hire: $800
Thanks for reading all this.
