The Maple wetland has been used as an informal dump for years. This July, 71 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 156 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 $2,650 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $1,800
• Signage and educational materials: $220
• Waste removal and skip hire: $630
Thanks for reading all this.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Miles
Hope things get better soon, Miles. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
wishing you peace, Miles. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Please keep us posted. Take care.
Hope it all works out. I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor in Tlaquepaque donated after I showed her your page
Rooting for you, Miles. Hope you get there. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.
