Help us clean and replant Jacaranda Creek before the April planting window closes.

Jacaranda Creek has been used as an informal dump for years. This January, 92 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 154 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the local forestry office, 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 $250 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $135
• Tools and protective gear: $45
• Waste removal and skip hire: $40
• Signage and educational materials: $30
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
