The Liberty hillside has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 72 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 107 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 $350 goes: • Native saplings and stakes: $140 • Tools and protective gear: $45 • Waste removal and skip hire: $135 • Signage and educational materials: $30 Thank you so much.

    So sorry you're going through this, Yaa. More neighborhoods should do this. After 24 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
