Restoring the Unity wetland: a volunteer-led project in Kyoto
Help us clean and replant the Unity wetland before the September planting window closes.
🇯🇵 Japan589 views
The Unity wetland has been used as an informal dump for years. This July, 54 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 198 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 $1,200 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $360
• Tools and protective gear: $430
• Waste removal and skip hire: $360
• Signage and educational materials: $50
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
