Plant 4,100 native trees around the Unity wetland in Mississauga

The Unity wetland has been used as an informal dump for years. This June, 68 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 54 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. Funds buy saplings, gloves, bags, hire of a skip, and signage. Where the $2,250 goes: • Signage and educational materials: $260 • Native saplings and stakes: $1,500 • Tools and protective gear: $490 Every share and every dollar helps. - Shivam
