The Cedar canal has been used as an informal dump for years. This July, 34 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 178 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the local forestry office, 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 $1,500 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $700
• Tools and protective gear: $155
• Waste removal and skip hire: $450
• Signage and educational materials: $195
Glad we found this place.

Great idea, hope you get there. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
What exactly is the $1,500 for?
It's all in the list in the story. native saplings and stakes is the big one at $700, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Appreciate you taking the time.
Looking forward to the next update. Sent it to 40 people at work. Greetings from Onitsha
Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Birmingham so I could bring a meal. God bless
You're not alone, Pilar. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care.
stay strong, Pilar. Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Rooting for you. Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor in Saket donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Móstoles.
sending good thoughts. Shared it with a few friends. Put this on a community board in El Paso this morning.
Wishing you the best, Pilar. Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
