The Lotus riverbank has been used as an informal dump for years. This February, 117 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 142 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.
Funds buy saplings, gloves, bags, hire of a skip, and signage.
Where the $400 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $120
• Tools and protective gear: $130
• Waste removal and skip hire: $110
• Signage and educational materials: $40

Hope things get better soon, Victor. Hope you get there. We're a small family in Manukau but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Calamba.
