The Cedar canal has been used as an informal dump for years. This May, 91 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 165 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. Funds buy saplings, gloves, bags, hire of a skip, and signage. Where the $450 goes: • Signage and educational materials: $35 • Waste removal and skip hire: $150 • Native saplings and stakes: $265 I hope life is good to you. - Denis

  • Sending good thoughts. Looking forward to the next update. We're a small family in Miami but we're thinking of you. God bless.

    • Sending strength, Denis. Hope this works out for you. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.

      • Good luck, Denis. Shared it with a few friends. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.

        • rooting for you. Great idea, hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.

          • Best of luck. More neighborhoods should do this. Love from Tampa.

            • Hang in there. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Abuja
