The Cedar riverbank has been used as an informal dump for years. This October, 114 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 66 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. Funds buy saplings, gloves, bags, hire of a skip, and signage. Where the $2,450 goes: • Native saplings and stakes: $1,700 • Tools and protective gear: $200 • Waste removal and skip hire: $430 • Signage and educational materials: $120 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Keith
