The Sycamore hillside has been used as an informal dump for years. This January, 50 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 55 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 $2,600 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $1,100
• Tools and protective gear: $570
• Waste removal and skip hire: $770
• Signage and educational materials: $160
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Take care, Micah. Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Raleigh!
Sending love, Micah. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Wish I lived closer to Los Angeles so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Raleigh.
