Pioneer Creek has been used as an informal dump for years. This June, 80 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 153 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 $600 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $300
• Tools and protective gear: $110
• Waste removal and skip hire: $135
• Signage and educational materials: $55
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

So sorry you're going through this, Naledi. Shared this with my family.
Sending love. Hope you get there. After 24 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Rooting for you. More neighborhoods should do this. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless.
