The Unity riverbank has been used as an informal dump for years. This November, 75 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 112 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.
We'll post planting day photos and a count of every sapling planted.
Where the $1,700 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $480
• Tools and protective gear: $490
• Waste removal and skip hire: $610
• Signage and educational materials: $120
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
