Clean streams for Spokane: restoring the Cedar wetland
A neighborhood-led restoration of the Cedar wetland needs $2,850 for saplings and equipment.
🇺🇸 United States2,536 views
The Cedar wetland has been used as an informal dump for years. This September, 88 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 59 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 $2,850 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $1,750
• Tools and protective gear: $460
• Waste removal and skip hire: $520
• Signage and educational materials: $120

Rooting for you. I hope things turn around soon. After 30 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Austin.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Héctor!
It's all in the list in the story. native saplings and stakes is the big one at $1,750, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks for asking.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Tlaquepaque but we're thinking of you. Blessings
Hope things get better soon, Héctor. Shared it with a few friends.
hope it all works out, Héctor. More neighborhoods should do this. Wish I lived closer to Nnewi so I could bring a meal. Love from Mardan
