Plant 2,850 native trees around the Acacia wetland in Dallas
Help us clean and replant the Acacia wetland before the September planting window closes.
🇺🇸 Texas, United States1,019 views
The Acacia wetland has been used as an informal dump for years. This May, 44 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 55 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 $2,800 goes:
• Waste removal and skip hire: $690
• Tools and protective gear: $780
• Native saplings and stakes: $1,330
With deep gratitude,
Nan
