Clean streams for Los Angeles: restoring the Sycamore hillside
Volunteers are restoring the Sycamore hillside in Los Angeles; $1,250 covers saplings, tools and waste removal.

The Sycamore hillside has been used as an informal dump for years. This July, 89 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 183 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.
Funds buy saplings, gloves, bags, hire of a skip, and signage.
Where the $1,250 goes:
• Waste removal and skip hire: $700
• Tools and protective gear: $350
• Signage and educational materials: $200
Every share and every dollar helps.

Take care, Hadley. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
