The Maple canal has been used as an informal dump for years. This April, 42 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 46 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. We'll post planting day photos and a count of every sapling planted. Where the $2,400 goes: • Native saplings and stakes: $1,400 • Tools and protective gear: $270 • Waste removal and skip hire: $560 • Signage and educational materials: $170 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Updates from Logan

  1. We're at 16% thanks to 11 of you. I met with the nursery and confirmed the amounts. More news soon.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 13% now ($300). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward signage and educational materials.

        Wishing you the best, Logan. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to San Diego so I could bring a meal. Blessings.

          Sending love. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like!
