The Maple hillside has been used as an informal dump for years. This November, 40 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 129 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the municipal water board, 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 $1,400 goes:
• Tools and protective gear: $290
• Native saplings and stakes: $910
• Signage and educational materials: $200
Glad we found this place.

thanks for sharing this, Nicholas. Hope you get there. My husband and I read this together. Love from Lahore.
Praying for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
Hang in there, Nicholas. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
Good luck. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Sydney.
wishing you the best. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless
Thanks for sharing this, Nicholas. Your post was clear and honest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.
Stay strong, Nicholas. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Nottingham
Sending love, Nicholas. Hope you get there. Thinking of San Jose.
I hope things turn around soon. After 28 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Niterói.
Keep going. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care
hope this works out for you. I hope January is when things finally get easier. Thinking of San Jose
Take care. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of San Jose.
best of luck, Nicholas. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Jerusalem this morning. Thinking of San Jose.
good luck, Nicholas. More neighborhoods should do this. Thinking of San Jose.
