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.
