🇳🇿 New Zealand2,588 views
The Acacia riverbank has been used as an informal dump for years. This March, 92 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 199 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 $1,550 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $800
• Tools and protective gear: $340
• Waste removal and skip hire: $280
• Signage and educational materials: $130
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Sending good thoughts. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Manchester.
Thanks for sharing this. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
Take care. Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Petrópolis
Praying for you, Neha. Your post was clear and honest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Hope it all works out. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Manukau
hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Manukau.
