Gold Coast
Jacaranda Creek has been used as an informal dump for years. This July, 103 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 196 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good. We have a plan agreed with the local forestry office, 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 $3,250 goes: • Native saplings and stakes: $1,750 • Tools and protective gear: $660 • Waste removal and skip hire: $560 • Signage and educational materials: $280 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Wayne

    Hope things get better soon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
