The Baobab wetland has been used as an informal dump for years. This May, 67 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 $400 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $200
• Tools and protective gear: $130
• Signage and educational materials: $70
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Thanks for sharing this, Yasmin. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
