The Cedar hillside has been used as an informal dump for years. This February, 116 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 195 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 $250 goes:
• Signage and educational materials: $50
• Waste removal and skip hire: $100
• Tools and protective gear: $100
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

44% there. I made the first payment toward signage and educational materials. Thank you.
Quick update: $80 raised so far (32%). we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Receipts coming as soon as I have them. - Siti
Good news. Because of your gifts ($55 in total) I made the first payment toward waste removal and skip hire. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Sending strength, Siti. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Prayagraj
Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 9 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Braunschweig
