The Maple hillside has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 37 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 66 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 $250 goes:
• Waste removal and skip hire: $40
• Native saplings and stakes: $170
• Signage and educational materials: $40
Thank you so much.

Sending love, Lanre. More neighborhoods should do this.
You're not alone, Lanre. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Colombo.
