The Cedar wetland has been used as an informal dump for years. This January, 70 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 128 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the local forestry office, 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.
Funds buy saplings, gloves, bags, hire of a skip, and signage.
Where the $2,400 goes:
• Signage and educational materials: $250
• Native saplings and stakes: $1,500
• Tools and protective gear: $650

stay strong, Craig. Your post was clear and honest. Please keep us posted.
Sending good thoughts. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Noida.
Stay strong, Craig. More neighborhoods should do this. Please keep us posted. Take care
best of luck. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out
Praying for you, Craig. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 8 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Dallas
