A neighborhood-led restoration of the Harmony riverbank needs $750 for saplings and equipment.

The Harmony riverbank has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 115 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 52 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 $750 goes:
• Signage and educational materials: $55
• Native saplings and stakes: $450
• Waste removal and skip hire: $245
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Hope things get better soon, Vanessa. Shared it with a few friends. All the best.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Vanessa!
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. signage and educational materials comes first ($55) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Ask me anything else.
