Acacia Creek cleanup and restoration: help our volunteer crew

Acacia Creek has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 53 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 122 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good. We have a plan agreed with the district council, 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 $350 goes: • Native saplings and stakes: $160 • Tools and protective gear: $60 • Waste removal and skip hire: $80 • Signage and educational materials: $50 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Dian
