The Pioneer riverbank has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 118 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 154 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 $3,100 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $1,700
• Tools and protective gear: $570
• Waste removal and skip hire: $670
• Signage and educational materials: $160
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Stay strong. More neighborhoods should do this. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Put this on a community board in Tema this morning
Sending love, Tiffany. Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Caxias do Sul so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Saint Paul
You're not alone, Tiffany. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. God bless
Rooting for you, Tiffany. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
you're not alone. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Peshawar
