The Sycamore wetland has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 98 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 113 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 $500 goes:
• Tools and protective gear: $75
• Native saplings and stakes: $360
• Signage and educational materials: $65
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Best of luck, Heloísa. Hope you get there. Blessings.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Curitiba.
So sorry you're going through this, Heloísa. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Curitiba.
Thinking of you. Your post was clear and honest. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Curitiba.
so sorry you're going through this, Heloísa. This could happen to any of us. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
Best of luck, Heloísa. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. My neighbor in São Paulo donated after I showed her your page. Take care!
A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Paraná. I'll ask around and let you know.
