The Baobab riverbank has been used as an informal dump for years. This July, 91 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 114 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.
Funds buy saplings, gloves, bags, hire of a skip, and signage.
Where the $2,200 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $1,350
• Signage and educational materials: $130
• Waste removal and skip hire: $720
Thanks for being kind about this.

Hope it all works out. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Thinking of Austin
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Sarah.
Native saplings and stakes is $1,350 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Fair thing to want to know.
good luck. Hope you get there. Please keep us posted!
