Plant 2,200 native trees around Harmony Creek in Bristol

Harmony Creek has been used as an informal dump for years. This June, 62 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 84 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. We'll post planting day photos and a count of every sapling planted. Where the $1,250 goes: • Signage and educational materials: $200 • Native saplings and stakes: $560 • Tools and protective gear: $490 Thanks for being kind about this.
