Restoring the Pioneer canal: a volunteer-led project in Dasmariñas
Help us clean and replant the Pioneer canal before the September planting window closes.

The Pioneer canal has been used as an informal dump for years. This June, 84 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 183 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 $500 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $250
• Tools and protective gear: $105
• Waste removal and skip hire: $125
• Signage and educational materials: $20
Thank you for reading my story.

Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Dasmariñas
Hang in there, Camille. Hope this works out for you.
Hang in there. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Wudil so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Cincinnati!
Best of luck. Your post was clear and honest. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Niterói.
Take care. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
