Epe

The Union hillside has been used as an informal dump for years. This May, 117 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 80 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good. We have a plan agreed with the city parks department, 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 $350 goes: • Native saplings and stakes: $150 • Tools and protective gear: $85 • Waste removal and skip hire: $65 • Signage and educational materials: $50 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
