A neighborhood-led restoration of the Freedom wetland needs $650 for saplings and equipment.
Anywhere in the world1,759 views
The Freedom wetland has been used as an informal dump for years. This October, 102 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 147 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 $650 goes:
• Waste removal and skip hire: $380
• Tools and protective gear: $145
• Signage and educational materials: $125
Thank you so much.

So sorry you're going through this. More neighborhoods should do this. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Agra.
Thinking of you and your family. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Adam
It's all in the list in the story. waste removal and skip hire is the big one at $380, I'll post a receipt when it's paid.
Thanks for sharing this, Adam. I hope things turn around soon. Take care
Best of luck, Adam. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Take care

Thinking of you. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. We're a small family in Montgomery but we're thinking of you.
