The Maple canal has been used as an informal dump for years. This March, 63 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 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 $350 goes:
• Signage and educational materials: $40
• Waste removal and skip hire: $100
• Native saplings and stakes: $210
Thanks for being kind about this.

Updates from Anna
Quick update: $40 raised so far (11%). the plan for native saplings and stakes is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($30 in total) the plan for native saplings and stakes is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Thank you all. We're at 9% now ($30). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for signage and educational materials is now scheduled.
