The Acacia canal has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 109 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 107 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 $1,300 goes: • Native saplings and stakes: $560 • Tools and protective gear: $230 • Waste removal and skip hire: $250 • Signage and educational materials: $260 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Zoey

      Sending strength. Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.

        Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Feira de Santana.
