The Pioneer riverbank has been used as an informal dump for years. This March, 50 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 184 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. Funds buy saplings, gloves, bags, hire of a skip, and signage. Where the $2,500 goes: • Native saplings and stakes: $1,600 • Tools and protective gear: $470 • Waste removal and skip hire: $290 • Signage and educational materials: $140 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

  • Hope this works out for you. After 22 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

      hope it all works out, Fionn. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.

      • Wishing you peace. This could happen to any of us. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Dublin.

        • praying for you, Fionn. More neighborhoods should do this.

          • Hope things get better soon, Fionn. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Please keep us posted. All the best.
