The Unity riverbank has been used as an informal dump for years. This September, 91 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 190 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good. We have a plan agreed with the local forestry office, 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 $2,150 goes: • Waste removal and skip hire: $550 • Native saplings and stakes: $1,500 • Signage and educational materials: $100 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Roberto
