Restoring the Maple canal: a volunteer-led project in Odesa
A neighborhood-led restoration of the Maple canal needs $200 for saplings and equipment.

The Maple canal has been used as an informal dump for years. This November, 93 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 187 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.
Funds buy saplings, gloves, bags, hire of a skip, and signage.
Where the $200 goes:
• Tools and protective gear: $75
• Native saplings and stakes: $95
• Signage and educational materials: $30
Every share and every dollar helps.
