Union Creek has been used as an informal dump for years. This July, 86 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 181 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.
We'll post planting day photos and a count of every sapling planted.
Where the $2,350 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $1,450
• Tools and protective gear: $590
• Signage and educational materials: $310
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Looking forward to the next update. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Dallas.
Hope things get better soon, Randall. I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor in Jalandhar donated after I showed her your page.
Take care, Randall. This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Kediri this morning
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 9 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Wollongong.
Hang in there, Randall. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Coimbatore.
wishing you peace. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
Keep going, Randall. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't give up. All the best.
Hang in there. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Mombasa this morning.
Wishing you the best. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
Thinking of you and your family. Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Sending good thoughts. Hope this works out for you. My neighbor in San Diego donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
