Clean streams for Los Angeles: restoring the Freedom wetland
Help us clean and replant the Freedom wetland before the November planting window closes.
🇺🇸 Los Angeles, California, United States803 views
The Freedom wetland has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 109 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 57 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 $2,300 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $1,450
• Tools and protective gear: $290
• Waste removal and skip hire: $380
• Signage and educational materials: $180
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
