The Unity riverbank has been used as an informal dump for years. This July, 103 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 58 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the city parks department, 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 $650 goes:
• Tools and protective gear: $60
• Native saplings and stakes: $520
• Waste removal and skip hire: $70
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Thanks for sharing this, Francisca. Hope this works out for you.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Campinas
Best of luck, Francisca. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Campinas.
