The Liberty canal has been used as an informal dump for years. This May, 87 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 141 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. Funds buy saplings, gloves, bags, hire of a skip, and signage. Where the $350 goes: • Native saplings and stakes: $130 • Tools and protective gear: $80 • Waste removal and skip hire: $95 • Signage and educational materials: $45 Thank you for reading my story. - Noman

Updates from Noman

  1. Thank you all. We're at 46% now ($160). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the nursery and confirmed the amounts.

  2. Wanted to say thank you properly. 36% funded and the plan for tools and protective gear is now scheduled.
