Clean streams for Cleveland: restoring the Union wetland
Help us clean and replant the Union wetland before the July planting window closes.
Anywhere in the world1,203 views
The Union wetland has been used as an informal dump for years. This April, 77 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 54 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.
Funds buy saplings, gloves, bags, hire of a skip, and signage.
Where the $1,300 goes:
• Signage and educational materials: $310
• Tools and protective gear: $210
• Waste removal and skip hire: $780
Thanks for reading all this.

Sending strength, Jaxon. This could happen to any of us. All the best.
Praying for you, Jaxon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
So sorry you're going through this, Jaxon. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Cleveland.
Sending good thoughts, Jaxon. Your post was clear and honest. We're a small family in Istanbul but we're thinking of you
Best of luck, Jaxon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Wishing you the best, Jaxon. More neighborhoods should do this.
keep going, Jaxon. Shared this with my family. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Kasarani.
