The Liberty wetland has been used as an informal dump for years. This January, 76 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 186 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.
We'll post planting day photos and a count of every sapling planted.
Where the $2,200 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $1,050
• Tools and protective gear: $510
• Waste removal and skip hire: $450
• Signage and educational materials: $190

Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Ottawa.
stay strong. Your post was clear and honest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Riverside.
rooting for you, Peng. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Good luck, Peng. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
