Clean water and shade for Durham: restoring the Cedar hillside
A neighborhood-led restoration of the Cedar hillside needs $2,500 for saplings and equipment.

The Cedar hillside has been used as an informal dump for years. This January, 48 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 82 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 $2,500 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $1,350
• Tools and protective gear: $630
• Waste removal and skip hire: $300
• Signage and educational materials: $220

You're not alone. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Jimma
Sending good thoughts. Hope you get there. Don't give up. Thinking of Durham.
you're not alone. Great idea, hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best
