Help us clean and replant the Jacaranda riverbank before the November planting window closes.

The Jacaranda riverbank has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 33 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 85 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.
Funds buy saplings, gloves, bags, hire of a skip, and signage.
Where the $1,400 goes:
• Tools and protective gear: $550
• Native saplings and stakes: $780
• Signage and educational materials: $70
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

You're not alone. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Love from Moscow.
Hope it all works out, Joyce. Your post was clear and honest. Take care.
Hope things get better soon, Joyce. Hope you get there. Greetings from Varanasi.
Thinking of you. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out.
You're not alone, Joyce. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
Thinking of you. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Albany.
