Restoring the Union riverbank: a volunteer-led project in Yekaterinburg
Help us clean and replant the Union riverbank before the November planting window closes.
🇷🇺 Russia836 views
The Union riverbank has been used as an informal dump for years. This July, 64 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 93 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.
We'll post planting day photos and a count of every sapling planted.
Where the $700 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $220
• Tools and protective gear: $175
• Waste removal and skip hire: $250
• Signage and educational materials: $55
Glad we found this place.

Keep going, Vitaly. Hope you get there
wishing you peace, Vitaly. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
I hope things turn around soon. After 12 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Best of luck, Vitaly. Great idea, hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Duque de Caxias but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Yekaterinburg.
Hope things get better soon. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Yekaterinburg.
More neighborhoods should do this. We're a small family in Istanbul but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Yekaterinburg.
Wishing you peace. Hope this works out for you. Please keep us posted. Greetings from Dublin.
