The Lotus wetland has been used as an informal dump for years. This July, 94 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 123 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the municipal water board, 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 $600 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $270
• Tools and protective gear: $65
• Waste removal and skip hire: $175
• Signage and educational materials: $90
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

gave what I could, wish it was more. After 6 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Thinking of you and your family, Bruna. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
Sending love, Bruna. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.
