Jacaranda Creek has been used as an informal dump for years. This January, 107 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 97 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. We'll post planting day photos and a count of every sapling planted. Where the $250 goes: • Native saplings and stakes: $115 • Tools and protective gear: $45 • Waste removal and skip hire: $70 • Signage and educational materials: $20 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Adhiambo

    Rooting for you. More neighborhoods should do this. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Los Angeles.

      Hang in there. Looking forward to the next update. After 21 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best
