Plant 4,500 native trees around the Maple wetland in San Fernando
Volunteers are restoring the Maple wetland in San Fernando; $450 covers saplings, tools and waste removal.

The Maple wetland has been used as an informal dump for years. This April, 40 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 161 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the city parks department, 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 $450 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $220
• Tools and protective gear: $90
• Waste removal and skip hire: $125
• Signage and educational materials: $15
Thank you so much.

You're not alone, Allan. Your post was clear and honest. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.
Wishing you peace, Allan. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of San Fernando.
You're not alone. Shared this with my family. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Rosario.
