Glendale
The Baobab riverbank has been used as an informal dump for years. This April, 69 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 54 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 $3,350 goes: • Native saplings and stakes: $1,900 • Tools and protective gear: $490 • Waste removal and skip hire: $700 • Signage and educational materials: $260 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Ruby
