The Pioneer wetland has been used as an informal dump for years. This May, 61 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 193 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the municipal water board, 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 $2,050 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $640
• Tools and protective gear: $600
• Waste removal and skip hire: $560
• Signage and educational materials: $250
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

so sorry you're going through this, Laura. Hope you get there. All the best.
Sending love. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Boston donated after I showed her your page. Blessings
Sending love, Laura. Your post was clear and honest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.
thinking of you and your family, Laura. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Blessings.
Wishing you peace, Laura. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Stay strong. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. It's not much but it's yours
good luck, Laura. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Stay strong. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless
