Clean water and shade for Bristol: restoring the Cedar wetland
A neighborhood-led restoration of the Cedar wetland needs $2,850 for saplings and equipment.

The Cedar wetland has been used as an informal dump for years. This June, 113 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 137 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: $1,550
• Tools and protective gear: $450
• Waste removal and skip hire: $650
• Signage and educational materials: $200
I hope life is good to you.

hope this works out for you. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care
Good luck, Nargis. More neighborhoods should do this. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Thanks for sharing this, Nargis. This could happen to any of us. All the best.
Stay strong, Nargis. Hope this works out for you. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best.
Keep going, Nargis. Your post was clear and honest. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Amsterdam
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Nargis
Take care. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings
Good luck, Nargis. Hope this works out for you. My husband and I read this together. Love from Soweto.
Sending good thoughts, Nargis. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Bristol
Wishing you the best, Nargis. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Cầu Giấy this morning. Greetings from Cầu Giấy
Thinking of you and your family, Nargis. Your post was clear and honest.
