The Jacaranda wetland has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 105 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 91 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 $250 goes: • Waste removal and skip hire: $150 • Tools and protective gear: $60 • Signage and educational materials: $40 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Padma

    hope it all works out, Padma. Shared this with my family. My neighbor in Regina donated after I showed her your page.

      Rooting for you, Padma. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings
