Restoring the Union canal: a volunteer-led project in Los Angeles
Help us clean and replant the Union canal before the May planting window closes.
🇺🇸 United States2,486 views
The Union canal has been used as an informal dump for years. This February, 76 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 89 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the city parks department, 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 $2,000 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $960
• Tools and protective gear: $500
• Waste removal and skip hire: $370
• Signage and educational materials: $170
With deep gratitude,
Sadie
