The Acacia canal cleanup and restoration: help our volunteer crew
Help us clean and replant the Acacia canal before the September planting window closes.
🇩🇪 Bavaria, Germany2,110 views
The Acacia canal has been used as an informal dump for years. This May, 42 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 191 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the municipal water board, 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 $1,800 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $760
• Tools and protective gear: $340
• Waste removal and skip hire: $490
• Signage and educational materials: $210
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Sending good thoughts, Mia. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like!
